Leeds United could be bracing for a major transfer battle as Bayern Munich has reportedly identified defender Tarik Muharemovic as a prime target for the 2027 transfer window.
Muharemovic, who joined Leeds from Sassuolo on a long-term deal this past summer for a potential £34 million, has quickly become a key figure in Daniel Farke's defense. His impressive performances in the Premier League have significantly boosted his market value, with Leeds now reportedly valuing the Bosnia international at over £60 million, despite his recent arrival.
Bayern Munich is said to be highly impressed with the 23-year-old center-back and has placed him high on their defensive wishlist for 2027. While a January move seems unlikely, the Bundesliga giants might test Leeds' resolve sooner rather than later. However, Leeds United has no financial pressure to sell and is determined to keep their new defensive asset at least until the end of the current season.
Adding to the interest, Inter Milan remains keen on Muharemovic after a failed summer bid, and other top European clubs also expressed interest before Leeds secured his signature. This means Bayern could face stiff competition if they decide to make a concrete offer.
For now, Leeds holds the cards regarding Muharemovic's future. His contract extends until 2031, giving the club a strong negotiating position. While Bayern may be planning a significant move for 2027, it's likely to take a substantial offer to persuade Leeds to part ways with their highly-rated defender.
