Attributed to original sourceReports in Italy claim that Juventus are attempting to lower Sassuolo’s valuation of centre-back Tarik Muharemovic, despite the fact that the Bianconeri already have a 50% sell-on clause for the Bosnia and Herzegovina international.
Sassuolo have €40m Muharemovic valuation, €20m for Juventus There are growing reports that Juventus could bring former Next Gen talent Muharemovic back to the club after an impressive two-season spell on loan with Sassuolo.
Bologna’s Jhon Lucumi has also been mentioned as a potential option for Juventus, who are looking to strengthen at centre-back, but he is valued at €25m and the Bianconeri feel there is a cheaper deal to be had for Muharemovic instead.
For Juventus, there is also the added benefit of having former Sassuolo chief Giovanni Carnevali in place as the club’s new CEO, which they hope will make negotiations with the Neroverdi fairly straightforward.

(Photo by Alessandro Sabattini/Getty Images) Sassuolo have reportedly slapped a €40m valuation on Muharemovic, but Juventus have a 50% sell-on clause, which means that they are looking at the prospect of having to hand over €20m in cash in order to bring Muharemovic back to the club.
Still, according to reports from Calciomercato.com , the Bianconeri are hoping to lower Sassuolo’s €40m valuation, which would of corse mean a reduction on the €20m fee that they would have to pay.
Talks between the two clubs are expected to take place this week .

What happened
Juventus are looking to bring back Muharemovic from Sassuolo but are pushing to reduce the €40m valuation despite holding a 50% clause on the player from a previous deal. The negotiation centers on how to structure the fee, with Juventus leveraging their existing ownership stake. The situation reflects Juventus' strategy of cost-control in the transfer market while trying to reinforce their defensive options.
Chance analysis
Muharemovic is a defensive asset Juventus partially own, making this a buy-back-style negotiation rather than a straightforward signing. Juventus' attempt to lower the price below market valuation suggests a value-driven approach, possibly indicating the player is a squad depth target rather than a marquee signing. This has minor immediate implications for Juventus' defensive planning, with the 50% clause giving them leverage in talks.
If completed, Juventus add defensive depth at a potentially reduced cost due to the 50% clause, but impact on first-team performance is likely minimal.
Juventus defensive reinforcement target with favorable existing ownership terms — likely depth signing, not a major impact transfer.
