Leeds United are destined to lose Tarik Muharemovic in the upcoming transfer windows, but at least that should come with a massive profit.

Daniel Farke's side signed the 23-year-old from Sassuolo during the summer, costing the club a whopping £34.1million.

Since then, he's been an absolute revelation in the Premier League. If you watched the 2026 World Cup, though, this won't be a surprise at all.

So far, he has started all five of Leeds' league matches, as well as scoring in one of their Carabao Cup games, albeit the 5-3 defeat to Chelsea.

His exploits have only continued onto the international stage with Bosnia and Herzegovina, where he has started every game during the break.

He has helped Bosnia to a second-place standing in Nations League B Group 4, just two points behind Poland, and his role simply cannot be underestimated.

Tarik Muharemovic sees his price tag soar

Bosnia claimed a very narrow win over the team ranked 36th in the world on Monday, 5 October, with Ivan Basic's 84th-minute penalty making all the difference.

That wasn't through Poland's lack of trying. Quite the opposite, actually. Muharemovic, next to Nikola Katic, put in some incredible defensive displays.

In 90 minutes, the Leeds ace made 16 defensive contributions, the most of anyone, including 13 clearances, one tackle and three recoveries [FotMob].

He won 100 per cent of his aerial duels, completed 83 per cent of his passes, all while taking 85 touches against a very tricky opponent.

With Football Insider understanding that Muharemovic is at the top of several Premier League clubs' shortlists, millions have just been added to his price tag.

What do Leeds have planned for Muharemovic?

Several European giants are already eyeing up a deal for Muharemovic in January, so the topic of his future will be difficult to ignore.

And having signed a five-year deal with him, Leeds will be in no pressure to sell in the upcoming windows, and that shows in their stance.

Football Insider has revealed that Muharemovic is not for sale at any price, even if it would mean making an incredible profit on the defender.

In a couple of seasons, he could be one of the most valuable centre-halves in the Premier League, but Leeds will have to play the waiting game.
