MANCHESTER UNITED SCOUT TARIK MUHAREMOVIć AMID €25M BID FROM RB LEIPZIG

Manchester United are scouting Tarik Muharemović! As RB Leipzig readies a €25m bid, will United secure the Bosnian star for their defence?

Manchester United Scout Tarik Muharemović Amid €25m Bid From RB Leipzig
United, Tottenham, And Newcastle Chase Sassuolo’s Bosnian Star Tarik Muharemović

Manchester United just can’t seem to settle their defence, and now they’re turning their attention to Italy again. According to Caught Offside, United scouts have been making regular trips to check out Tarik Muharemović. He’s only 22, but since joining Sassuolo, he’s become one of the most reliable young defenders in Serie A.

His rise has been quick. Sassuolo picked him up from Juventus Next Gen last summer for about €3 million. Since then, he’s played 17 league matches and already left those low expectations behind. People are taking notice. United aren’t the only ones watching—Tottenham and Newcastle are keeping tabs, and both Inter and Juventus are still interested in Italy.

There’s a catch, though. When Juventus sold him, they made sure to add a clause that gives them 50 per cent of any future transfer fee. That means they’ll have a say in whatever happens next, and it makes things tricky for anyone thinking about making a move—especially if it’s another Italian club.

Then there’s the German angle. RB Leipzig is ready to put €25 million plus bonuses on the table. That’s a serious offer, but Sassuolo aren’t interested in selling this January. Their CEO, Giovanni Carnevali, admitted there’s been contact but no official bids, and he’s made it clear the price will only go up depending on who’s asking.

For United, this all fits their bigger picture. Harry Maguire’s future is still up in the air, and the club keeps looking at younger defenders who can grow into a long-term role. Muharemović fits that mould: comfortable with the ball, strong, and already pretty savvy for his age.

Honestly, a January move doesn’t look likely with Sassuolo digging in, but once the summer window opens, expect things to heat up. Europe’s top clubs are watching, and the longer everyone waits, the higher the price could climb.

Fans, though, have every right to be a bit tired of this dance. United have chased big-name defenders before, only to end up disappointed. Going for a young centre-back who can actually develop feels overdue, maybe even obvious at this point.

Still, there’s a fair bit of scepticism. Supporters are used to hearing about “monitoring” and “scouting,” but they want to see some action. With clubs like Leipzig ready to swoop in, there’s always that worry United will show up late, pay over the odds, or just miss out.

That Juventus clause doesn’t help either. Fans know how quickly these complicated deals can fall apart, and there’s always the question—does the club have the nerve and the plan to pull this off? Even so, on paper, Muharemović makes sense. If United are serious about rebuilding with patience and structure, he’s the kind of player who might quietly turn into a real asset. The big question, as always, is whether they can actually get it done.

TRANSFER TWIST: ANTONIO CONTE ENTERS THE RACE TO STEAL RADU DRAGUSIN FROM ROMA

Radu Dragusin is heading back to Italy! Read how Antonio Conte’s Napoli plans to hijack Roma’s €15m move for the Tottenham star.

Will Radu Dragusin Join Conte At Napoli Or Choose Roma?

Radu Dragusin’s future just got a lot more interesting. A journalist now says Napoli manager Antonio Conte wants to bring the Tottenham defender to Italy, even though Dragusin already has an agreement in place with AS Roma.

Dragusin is back to full fitness after tearing his ACL in January 2025, but his time at Tottenham looks like it’s almost up. Roma are pushing hard to sign him when the transfer window opens. They tried a loan deal with an option to buy, but Spurs turned that down. Still, Roma aren’t giving up.

Il Corriere dello Sport reported Tuesday morning that Dragusin is “pushing for Roma.” He’s apparently been talking with Roma for days and has already agreed on contract terms.

Tottenham are open to selling the 23-year-old this month, but they want €20 million. Roma don’t want to go higher than €15 million and would rather take him on loan first, with an option to buy. They’re just not ready to gamble big on a player who only recently came back from a major knee injury.

Then came a twist. On Tuesday afternoon, Italian journalist Mirko Di Natale posted on X that Napoli have asked about Dragusin. Conte, who managed Tottenham not that long ago and just won Serie A with Napoli, is now trying to strengthen his squad for another title run.

Di Natale said Roma are still leading the race, but talks with Tottenham have stalled. They can’t agree on the deal structure, especially the loan with an option to buy. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig is lurking in the background, offering Tottenham a straight purchase.

Tottenham only signed Dragusin from Genoa in January 2024 for £26.7 million. He’s under contract in north London until 2030.

THE GIALLOROSSI CROSSROADS: WHY EVAN FERGUSON’S ROMA FUTURE IS SUDDENLY UNDER THREAT

Evan Ferguson faces fresh competition at Roma! With Robinio Vaz and Donyell Malen arriving, find out what's next for the Irish star.

Can Evan Ferguson Survive Roma’s Massive January Strike Force

Evan Ferguson has been playing well for Roma recently, but there are still questions about what will happen to him at the club soon.

The Irish player joined the Serie A team on loan for a season, with a €40 million option to make the move permanent this summer. At first, he had trouble in Italy because of injuries and not playing much. The manager even questioned him about it publicly a few times.

But Ferguson seemed to have turned things around lately. He has started the team's last four league games, even though he had to leave the game early in the win over Sassuolo last weekend because of what people think is a small back injury.

Now, Roma is bringing in more players, which makes his place on the team uncertain.

Evan Ferguson's Future is Unclear Because Roma is Making Two Big Moves

Roma has been connected to different forward players in recent weeks. The club are now close to adding to their options up front.

Fabrizio Romano says that the club has agreed to sign Marseille striker Robinio Vaz in a deal that could be worth up to €25 million.

That's not the only new player coming.

Many sources say that Roma has agreed to a deal to sign Donyell Malen from Aston Villa. The Dutch player is set to join on loan with an option to buy this summer.

Both of these players would give Gian Piero Gasperini more choices up front. But it looks like the club missed out on their main target for January, as Atletico Madrid's Giacomo Raspadori reportedly turned down Roma to move to Atalanta.

Evan Ferguson won't play in Tuesday's Coppa Italia game against Torino because of that small back injury. But he is expected to be back soon. When he does return, it seems like he will have a lot more competition to get a spot on the team.
