Leeds United €40m Centre-Back Linked Abroad: Should Whites Sell Him To Bayern?

Leeds United €40m Centre-Back Linked Abroad: Should Whites Sell Him To Bayern? Rumours travel fast in football. One whisper from Germany, and by teatime every Leeds United fan has checked the price tag of a 23-year-old centre-back who only arrived last summer. Was the whisper right, though? Hold that thought. A rise nobody saw coming Tarik Muharemović began in Austria, joined Juventus in 2021 and never played a first-team game there. Sassuolo took him on loan in 2024, then made the move permanent a year later. Leeds beat Juventus to his signature in the summer of 2025, and Sport Witness later covered Italian claims that the Old Lady regret letting him go. What the Bild man says Reports in England claimed Bayern Munich had made him their main target for next summer. Christian Falk, the Bild journalist, doesn’t buy it. On his Bayern Insider podcast, he said “No, not true again,” then pointed to the contract until 2031 and a price that will hurt. Bayern know the player, he added, but they don’t plan that far ahead. Sport Witness relayed his comments. Transfermarkt values the defender at €40m, up €33m since June 2025. When the report came out, Leeds United had the joint-best defensive record in the Premier League, and he was a big reason. Should Leeds United sell Muharemović to Bayern? LONDON, ENGLAND – OCTOBER 10: Tarik Muharemovic of Leeds United runs with the ball from Bukayo Saka of Arsenal during the Premier League 2026/27 match between Arsenal FC and Leeds United at Emirates Stadium on October 10, 2026 in London, England.

Muharemović does all three, and he’s tall enough to bully strikers without losing his head when a press arrives. That suits Vincent Kompany’s high line and brave build-up, so I get why Munich keep his name on a list. Still, look at their depth. Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah start, which would leave a 23-year-old waiting on the bench. Here, he’s a starter. He plays alongside Joe Rodon, and he’s improving every week under Daniel Farke. A contract until 2031 hands Leeds United the clock, so nobody forces their hand. If Bayern want him, they pay far beyond what Transfermarkt says, because the Whites would need a replacement of the same level and a fee that covers the gamble. Until then, his name goes down first on Farke’s teamsheet.
