Juventus are exploring a creative piece of transfer business that would see centre-back Tarik Muharemovic return to the Allianz Stadium — and thanks to a sell-on clause inserted when he left, the bianconeri could effectively secure him at half price.
How the Deal Would Work
La Gazzetta dello Sport report how Muharemovic joined Sassuolo from Juventus in 2024 and signed a permanent deal in 2025. Critically, Juventus retained a 50% sell-on clause, meaning that if they are the club to re-sign him this summer, they would effectively receive a 50% discount on whatever fee Sassuolo demand. Sassuolo value their defensive cornerstone at between €30 and €35 million — which would put Juventus’s net outlay in the region of €15–17 million. In the current market, that represents outstanding value for a player of his quality and age.
Why Muharemovic Appeals to Juventus
The 23-year-old Bosnian international has developed into one of Serie A’s most impressive centre-backs since leaving Turin, becoming a pillar of Sassuolo’s defence. Juventus believe he is ready to step up to a club with higher ambitions and that Europa League football in 2026-27 could represent an ideal platform for his continued growth. Left-footed and commanding in the air, he fits the profile Spalletti has been seeking and would address one of the squad’s most pressing needs.
Muharemovic has attracted considerable attention both in Italy and abroad, with Bournemouth among the Premier League clubs monitoring his situation closely. Inter had also been linked, but Juventus — armed with their financial advantage — believe they hold a meaningful edge.
Adzic Heading to Sassuolo as Part of the Deal?
The negotiations have a second dimension. Sassuolo have identified Vasilije Adzic as a concrete midfield target, with informal exploratory talks already under way between the two clubs over a potential loan for the Montenegrin teenager. The appointment of Alberto Aquilani as Sassuolo’s new head coach is considered a decisive factor — his track record of nurturing creative midfielders makes him an ideal mentor for Adzic, who collected just 348 minutes of first-team football at Juventus last season despite 26 appearances.
Including Adzic in the Muharemovic conversation would give both clubs something they want and further reduce the financial burden on Juventus. It is the kind of elegant, joined-up transfer thinking that Comolli has been tasked to deliver — and on paper at least, it makes considerable sense for all parties.
