Bosnian international Tarik Muharemovic (23) took his first professional steps in 2021 with his development club WAC.

However, the Carinthian side's first team did not benefit from the top talent for long; after just six appearances, he made the move to the youth academy of Juventus.

Following a spell at Sassuolo, he made the leap to the Premier League with Leeds United in the summer. According to media reports, the transfer fee was just under 40 million euros. The centre-back has been shining in England ever since.

That has also alerted top clubs: back in October, FC Bayern Munich were already linked with him.

Top clubs beckon

Transfer insider Ekrem Konur has now named further high-profile suitors. According to him, the 23-year-old has made it onto the shortlists of Liverpool, Inter, and Barcelona.

Muharemovic is under contract at Leeds United until 2031. According to Konur, any deal would therefore be costly, likely amounting to around 60 million pounds (roughly 72 million euros).
