Leeds United are closing in on a new centre-back after agreeing a £34.1m fee with Sassuolo for defender Tarik Muharemovic, according to BBC News.
The Whites have moved quickly to strike a deal with the Serie A club, though the report stops short of confirming personal terms or a medical timeline for the move. Details on the length of contract being offered or Muharemovic's exact role at Elland Road have not been disclosed.
Leeds have been active in strengthening their squad, and landing a defender of this profile for such a fee suggests the club see him as a significant addition to their backline. Sassuolo, for their part, stand to bank a sizeable fee for a player who has clearly caught the eye of Premier League scouts.
With the fee reportedly agreed, attention will now turn to whether Muharemovic completes the switch to Yorkshire and how soon he could be unveiled as a Leeds player, though BBC News notes the transfer has yet to be formally finalised.
