Leeds United are delighted to confirm the signing of Tarik Muharemović, who joins the club from Italian Serie A side Sassuolo on a five-year-deal for an undisclosed fee.

The towering defender becomes our second permanent addition of the summer transfer window after the signing of Harry Wilson, bringing a wealth of experience at a young age.

Muharemović was a stand-out performer for Sassuolo throughout the 2025/26 campaign as his side finished in a highly respectable 11th place. Following that fine form, the 23-year-old went on to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina at the FIFA World Cup this summer.

A commanding centre-back who stands at 6ft 4’ in height, Tarik began his career in Austria and made his professional debut for Wolfsberger AC in the country’s top-flight.

Just six matches with the club were enough to alert clubs from across Europe and Italian giants Juventus swooped quickly to secure his services, where Tarik was able to develop further and would go on to become a full international whilst in Turin.

In August 2024, he went on loan to Sassuolo and scored for the club in just his second game. That was the sign of an impressive season to come as the Neroverdi were crowned champions of Serie B, earning promotion back to the Italian top division.

With 30 appearances under his belt for the club, Muharemović’s move to the Mapei Stadium was made permanent. He then continued his fine form with a further 33 appearances last season across all competitions.

At international level, the central defender has also flourished with 17 senior caps to his name, having played in the UEFA Nations League, World Cup Qualifiers, World Cup Play-Offs, and ultimately this summer’s finals.

Muharemović becomes our second signing of the summer and everyone at Leeds United would like to welcome him to the club, as we continue our preparations for the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Oh Tarik woah
Oh Tarik woah
He comes from Bosnia
He'll fooking murder ya

That's just pathetic! I expect much better from you

[SG90]

That's just pathetic! I expect much better from you

It'll just end up being Seven Nation Army or Sloop John B like most football chants

[airedale]

To the tune of i like to move it by real to reel.
We've got Muharemovic! We've got Muharemovic! We've got Muharemovic! He likes to... MOVE IT!
It won't scan the way Tarik pronounces his name but what does he know.

[Victor_OTT_17]

Marquee signing only tainted by the really 'poor effort' chant suggestions being offered. I like this signing: A LOT! Same with Wilson though I reckon Wilson got as great deal to manage 4 years.

If we get Trafford and Brandt, I will be gobsmacked! With Brandt, Trafford, Wilson and 'The TANK (T a ri k)' we won't need another #9. Piroe will score 20 this season with these players backing him up...

I expect someone will come up with something for Tarik the tank engine

Assuming we play a back three... still think Farke is much happier in a 4 and Muha allows that..

From the back line, he will dominate.
,When he tackles, it is way too late!
Yellow cards accumulate .
He plays for Leeds he will be great!

Swap Bijol in for Tanaka and go to a 3-4-2-1 and you might be on to something.

You could have boiled 3 eggs and had a toke on a cheroot in that time

I cannot see Tanaka staying if we buy Brandt/someone else...

[BlackHillsPaul]

I agree.

[Finnatic]

He is never getting his own song at Elland road far too many syllables.

To steal a Manure song…
“Oh Oh Oh it’s Tarik you know, you’ll never believe it’s not (insert rhyming player name)”
