Inter Milan to Open Formal Talks for Sassuolo Defender Muharemovic

Inter Milan will start formal talks to sign Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic, with Juventus’ buyback clause potentially raising the cost.

## Context Inter Milan faces a summer overhaul of its defensive line. Several current defenders are linked with moves abroad, prompting the club to seek reinforcements. Sassuolo’s CEO Giovanni Carnevali noted that Muharemovic’s price tag varies by suitor and could rise sharply if English clubs enter the race.

## Key Facts - Inter has identified Muharemovic as its top transfer target, according to journalist Pasquale Guarro. - The Nerazzurri have already held informal discussions with the player’s entourage. - Juventus retains a buyback clause in Muharemovic’s contract, meaning Inter may need to pay an additional fee to secure him.

## What It Means If English clubs show interest, Sassuolo could demand a premium, testing Inter’s budget. The buyback clause adds a layer of cost that Inter must weigh against Muharemovic’s potential to replace outgoing defenders like Alessandro Bastoni, who is linked with Barcelona.

Watch for the outcome of the formal talks and any competing offers from the Premier League that could shift the valuation.
