However, the Sassuolo executive confirmed that no direct contacts have taken place so far. Carnevali explained that the club has not opened talks with any interested side.
He stated that Sassuolo is only aware of general interest reported in the media. According to him, no official negotiations are currently underway. The club remains calm about the situation and focused on internal evaluations.
“Muharemovic? We have never held talks with other clubs. We hear that there is interest, but the only thing we know for sure is that he is a player with great qualities—one of very few at his age in his position. At the moment, however, there are no negotiations.” said Carnevali.
Muharemovic is a central defender born in 2003. He represents Sassuolo at club level and Bosnia and Herzegovina internationally. His performances have attracted attention due to his maturity and physical presence. Many observers consider him one of the most promising defenders of his generation.

High potential but no negotiations
Carnevali highlighted the defender’s technical and tactical qualities. He described Muharemovic as a rare profile for his age group. According to the executive, players like him are difficult to find today. This explains the widespread interest surrounding his name.
Despite the rumors, Sassuolo are not rushing into any decision. The club prefers to protect the player’s development and long-term growth. Carnevali made it clear that speculation does not equal concrete interest. Only formal approaches would change the club’s current stance.
Sassuolo have built a strong reputation for developing young talent. They often wait for the right moment before considering transfers. This strategy has brought both sporting and financial success in recent years. Muharemovic could follow a similar path if progress continues.
For now, the defender remains an important part of Sassuolo’s plans. Any future decision will depend on timing and serious proposals. Until then, the club denies any active market discussions. This update was reported by TuttoMercatoWeb, which conducted the original interview.
