Sassuolo CEO admits Muharemovic will leave with Milan and Inter interested: “Our policy”

AC Milan are considering making a move for a defender next year, and there are two options from Sassuolo being considered.

It seems increasingly unlikely that Milan make a permanent move for a defender in January. However, this may actually be a benefit for the Rossoneri. Right now, it seems that Axel Disasi and Niklas Sule are the most likely candidates, but both look like short-term options.

In the long-term, a permanent option could arrive in the summer, and this is where the Sassuolo pair of Jay Idzes and Tarik Muharemovic could appeal.

Benefiting Milan?

The Neroverdi do not want to lose either in the January mercato, hoping to see them aid their chances of safety in Serie A.

However, they could both leave in the summer, with the Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali telling Sky Sport that their departures are part of the club’s ‘plan’, as it were, which Calciomercato.com relays.

“Not only him [Muharemovic], but we also have someone else. We are getting requests, we are still at the beginning and we have to see. Muharemović is showing great things and is a player of great prospects. It is useless to hide; they will clearly come, but it is also part of our policy.

“We have always been a club that tries to value young people, make them grow and give them the opportunity to go to a big club. This is what we work for every day. Together with Muharemovic, there are some other guys, but this one just pleases us; we don’t worry.

“If there are opportunities, I think it’s right for everyone. For the player to aspire to a great club (not because Sassuolo is not), but also for our club to carry on what our values are and the projects of our property.”
