Barcelona and Inter in the race for Muhamerovic

Leeds United signed Bosnian centre-back Tarik Muhamerovic from Sassuolo in the summer transfer window for 37 million euros. The 23-year-old, who stands 1.92 metres tall and is left-footed, quickly established himself in the Premier League.

According to a report by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona see Muhamerovic at the top of their list of targets. The Catalan club has serious interest in the player, who is seen as a suitable profile for Hansi Flick's system.

Inter have also been tracking the player since his time at Sassuolo. The Italian club, which is looking for an alternative to Bastoni, who enters the final year of his contract, is reported to have made contact about a mid-season move. Liverpool are said to be considering him as a replacement for Virgil van Dijk, who turns 35, and Bayern Munich are also reported to have his name under review to strengthen their defence.

Leeds United are described as being in a selling position at this stage. If Muhamerovic continues to develop at this pace, he is expected to reach a fee of between 70 and 100 million euros in next summer's transfer window, and the Yorkshire club is acting with that expectation in mind.
