Sassuolo confirm Inter and Bologna have shown interest in young centre-back Tarik Muharemovic, while Bournemouth have not made an approach. Betting angle: punters may back Inter as favorites to complete the signing, expect transfer-market odds to shorten for Inter/Muharemovic and player prop markets to shift if a move to a top club appears likely.
Sassuolo confirm Inter and Bologna interest in Tarik Muharemovic
Sassuolo sporting director Giovanni Carnevali has acknowledged approaches for young centre-back Tarik Muharemovic from Inter and Bologna, while specifically denying any contact from Bournemouth. Muharemovic, a product of the Juventus academy, has emerged as one of Italy’s most promising defensive prospects and is attracting attention from bigger Serie A clubs.
Carnevali stresses development over forced sales
Carnevali made clear the club has no immediate need to sell Muharemovic and prefers to develop the player to enhance his value rather than pushing for a hurried transfer. “We don’t have to sell Muharemovic at all costs,” he said, noting that Sassuolo will listen to big-club offers but must also ensure adequate replacement options.
Background: Sassuolo’s past dealings and the Locatelli example
Carnevali also confirmed that Sassuolo once had an agreement in place for Manuel Locatelli back in 2021, but the midfielder ultimately moved to Juventus after choosing that destination. The Locatelli episode is cited as an example of Sassuolo prioritising player preference alongside financial considerations.
Transfer-market dynamics and Juventus’ stake
Juventus still hold a reported 50% sell-on clause on Muharemovic. That clause could become a bargaining chip in any negotiation between Inter and Sassuolo; Juventus might agree to adjust their share to facilitate a deal, which would influence the structure and headline fee of any transfer. Sassuolo will also weigh the need to find a replacement before sanctioning a sale.
What this means for betting markets
From a punting perspective, the confirmation of Inter and Bologna interest—and the explicit absence of Bournemouth—should push odds in favour of an Inter move if they press forward. Transfer-market and player-prop markets (appearances, starts, defensive stats) may react quickly: shorter odds for an Inter transfer, while markets tied to Bournemouth involvement should be treated as unlikely. Bettors should watch official offers and any changes to the Juventus sell-on position, as those factors will materially affect market pricing.
Next steps and likely timeline
Sassuolo will assess concrete bids and ensure replacement planning before agreeing to a sale. Interested clubs will need to convert initial approaches into formal offers for negotiations to progress; until then, Muharemovic remains a valued asset Sassuolo intends to develop.
