FC Bayern appears to be continuing its search for reinforcements for its central defense. Tarik Muharemovic has once again come into focus. The 23-year-old defender from Leeds United has made a name for himself in the Premier League. Interest from Munich could now prompt his current club to act quickly.
As reported by the English website TEAMtalk, the German record champions are among the clubs considering signing the Bosnian international.
Particularly noteworthy is the financial aspect of a potential transfer. According to the report, Muharemovic is now valued at just under 70 million euros. This would make the defender anything but a bargain for the Munich club.
Leeds apparently wants to beat Bayern to the punch
The growing interest in Muharemovic is apparently causing concern at Leeds United. The Premier League club wants to keep its key player for as long as possible and could therefore take action soon.
According to TEAMtalk, club officials are considering offering the 23-year-old a new contract with improved financial terms. The aim is to prevent Muharemovic from considering a move should an offer come in from Munich.
An early contract extension would send an important signal for Leeds. The club apparently wants to keep the center back as an integral part of its sporting plans.
Bayern have had their eye on Muharemovic for some time now
The fact that the Munich club is interested in the Bosnian national team player is not entirely new. In recent months, there have already been several reports about FC Bayern’s interest in Muharemovic.
The 23-year-old’s performances in England have apparently put him on the wish lists of several clubs internationally.
For the German record champions, Muharemovic could be particularly interesting due to his age and potential for development. At 23, he already has experience at the highest level, yet still has many years of his career ahead of him.
A potential signing, however, would require a significant investment.
It remains to be seen whether Bayern would actually be willing to spend such a large sum on the center back. His current market value is estimated at 40 million euros.
Despite the renewed interest, there are no indications so far that the Munich club has already entered into concrete negotiations with Leeds United.
The club’s management in Munich is likely to monitor the defender’s progress for now and assess whether a transfer next summer would make sense from both a financial and sporting perspective.
