Bournemouth Step Up Interest in Rising Sassuolo Defender Tarik Muharemovic

Bournemouth are reportedly stepping up their interest in Tarik Muharemovic as the young Bosnian defender continues to impress with his performances for Sassuolo. The Premier League club is closely monitoring his situation and could soon make an official move as competition for his signature begins to intensify across Europe.
Muharemovic has gained wider recognition following a standout season that included helping Bosnia secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup. His strong displays, particularly during the playoff clash against Italy, have highlighted his defensive maturity and consistency at a high level, attracting attention from several top clubs including Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur.
Interest in the 23-year-old is becoming increasingly competitive, with Como 1907 also making early contact as they prepare for their upcoming Champions League campaign. However, Bournemouth are now viewed as serious contenders, especially as Inter’s pursuit appears to have slowed, opening the door for the English side to advance in negotiations.
Sassuolo are believed to value the defender at around 35 million euros, a fee that Bournemouth are considered capable of meeting if they decide to prioritize the transfer. The club’s recruitment strategy, which has focused on Serie A talent in recent years, aligns well with Muharemovic’s profile as a developing yet already proven centre-back.
With Marcos Senesi’s departure creating a gap in defense, Bournemouth see Muharemovic as a strong candidate to reinforce their back line. Tottenham’s focus on other targets may also work in Bournemouth’s favor, increasing their chances of securing one of the most promising young defenders currently playing in Italy.
