Leeds United have completed the signing of Tarik Muharemovic from Italian club Sassuolo in a deal worth £34.1m, according to BBC News.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international becomes the latest addition to Daniel Farke's squad as Leeds continue preparations for life back in the Premier League.
BBC Radio Leeds reporter Adam Pope believes the defender has the attributes needed to adapt quickly and thrive in England's top flight, suggesting the club have identified a player capable of making an immediate impact rather than simply adding squad depth.
The fee involved underlines the scale of Leeds' ambition following promotion, with the club evidently willing to invest heavily to strengthen their backline as they look to establish themselves in the Premier League this season.
Further details on Muharemovic's contract length and squad number are expected to follow, but his arrival signals Leeds' intent to build a side capable of competing at the highest level after their return to the division.
