The rise of Tarik Muharemovic from Juventus’ youth ranks to a key role at Sassuolo has been one of the most intriguing stories of the season. His rapid development, impressive maturity, and recent performances have reignited talk of a potential return to Turin.
IlBianconero report how Muharemovic’s journey with Juventus was swift and promising. After progressing through the youth system and into the Next Gen squad, the Bosnian centre-back quickly showcased his talent and potential. However, Juventus opted to move him on to generate financial flexibility, deeming him expendable at the time without weakening their immediate squad.
Growth at Sassuolo
After leaving Juventus, Muharemovic responded by working tirelessly to prove his worth. His steady rise with Sassuolo—first in Serie B and now as a Serie A regular—has earned him both trust and playing time. This weekend’s goal in the important win over Fiorentina confirmed his progress and has amplified the sense of regret within Juventus, whose defensive depth remains under scrutiny.
Can He Return to Turin?
The prospect of a return, however, is complicated. Juventus sold Muharemovic on a permanent deal, without any buy-back clause or first-refusal option, ruling out an immediate comeback in the January transfer window. Nevertheless, the club did retain a significant sell-on clause worth around 50%, although it is unclear whether this applies to Sassuolo’s total sale fee or only to any profit they might make from a future transfer.
The Current Situation
For Muharemovic to rejoin Juventus, the club would need to negotiate directly with Sassuolo, with their existing clause offering only a limited financial edge. While no contact has yet been reported between the two sides, his continued growth and Juventus’ ongoing search for defensive reinforcements make this a story worth watching in the months ahead.
