Tottenham and Aston Villa lineup move for 23-year-old defender, club set for 6x profit
Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are looking to strengthen their defensive units in the summer, and they have identified the Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemovic as a target.
The defender has impressed with his performances in Italy with Sassuolo, and he could prove to be a quality addition for the two English clubs. According to reports via SportWitness, the player could cost around €30 million.
The Italian club signed him for €5 million and is now looking to make a substantial profit. It remains to be seen whether the Premier League club will come forward with an official offer to get the deal done.
Tottenham could use more quality in depth in the defensive unit. Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club, and they need to replace him properly. Muharemovic could be a quality long-term investment for them. The opportunity to join the Premier League club will be exciting for the 23-year-old as well. He is a young player with a lot of promise, and they could groom him into a future star.
On the other hand, Aston Villa need a quality long-term replacement for Tyrone Mings.
They are pushing for Champions League qualification in the upcoming campaign, and they could be an attractive destination for the young defender.
It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs comes forward with an official offer to design the player. They have the resources to pay €30 million for him, and the young defender might be able to justify the investment in future.
Muharemovic has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he will look to establish himself as a reliable defender in the Premier League if a transfer goes through.
