How much Leeds United have agreed to pay Tarik Muharemovic with transfer advanced

Leeds United are set to light up their transfer window with Tarik Muharemovic.

The Whites have endured a slow start to the summer transfer market, with Harry Wilson the sole big-name arrival so far.

Daniel Farke has had to contend with several exits though, with Pascal Struijk sold, as well as Karl Darlow and Illan Meslier moving on.

It leaves holes in defence that need filling.

That's where Muharemovic comes in, with the Sassuolo defender closing in on a headline move to West Yorkshire.

The Bosnian won't come cheap either, with Leeds and the 49ers Enterprises making a real statement.

What are the final figures behind Tarik Muharemovic?

MOT Leeds News previously covered that Muharemovic may now cost upwards of £38million.

It appears that will come down, thankfully.

Michele De Blasis has reported on X that Leeds are advanced and now "very close" to signing Muharemovic.

The Gazzetta Dello Sport journalist states that the Whites will likely pay just under £34m to get a deal done, with Juventus due 50 per cent.

On top of that, Muharemovic will earn over £2.5m-per-year on a contract that should last until 2031.

Where will Tarik Muharemovic fit into Leeds record signings?

Very near the top.

In fact, Muharemovic would currently rank second at the expected price of just under £34m, with Georginio Rutter ahead of him.

Rutter signed from Hoffenheim for up to £36m, but Leeds still made profit after selling the Frenchman to Brighton.

The attacker is remembered fondly, not just for his skill, but his personality in and around LS11.

Muharemovic will likely be much more no-nonsense, given his role in the heart of defence, but Leeds fans are drawn to that more.

Jaka Bijol proved himself quickly when given the chance by Farke, and another towering European defender could do the same.

Given it's the likes of Brenden Aaronson behind him too in the records list, it shows just how contrasting it can be signing at Elland Road for such a high fee.

Things are getting serious now with some big money being thrown around, but Leeds have made sure they're winning the race for Muharemovic.

It could only be days away, now.
