Leeds United have reportedly taken a firm position on Tarik Muharemovic's future amid growing interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs.
According to reports from MOT Leeds News and TEAMtalk, the club have no intention of allowing the Bosnia and Herzegovina international to leave in January and see him as an important part of their long-term project.
Leeds send a clear message over Muharemovic
Muharemovic only arrived from Sassuolo in the summer, but his impact has been immediate. The 23-year-old has established himself as a key part of Daniel Farke's defence.
That form has naturally attracted attention. Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are among the clubs reported to be monitoring him, but Leeds are said to be ready to make one thing clear: a winter sale is not on the agenda.
Farke wants to build around the Bosnian defender
The reports state that Daniel Farke is keen to continue building his team with Muharemovic at the heart of the project rather than cashing in quickly.
Muharemovic signed a five-year contract running until 2031, giving Leeds a strong position when it comes to any future negotiations.
His first months in England can be followed in more detail on the Tarik Muharemovic Leeds United career page.
What would it take for Leeds to even consider a sale?
Leeds are reportedly refusing to place an official price tag on Muharemovic, but sources cited by TEAMtalk believe the club already view their original investment as having effectively doubled.
The same report suggests that it could take a fee above £60 million before Leeds would even consider discussing a future sale.
The figure should not be treated as a formal asking price, but it gives a clear indication of how strongly Leeds currently value the Bosnia and Herzegovina centre-back.
Interest growing across Europe
Bayern Munich remain one of the most prominent clubs linked with Muharemovic, while Inter Milan have also been mentioned among his admirers. Barcelona has also appeared in wider reports surrounding a possible future move.
For now, though, Leeds appear determined to keep control of the situation and continue developing with Muharemovic rather than planning an early exit.
His latest club and international numbers can be followed in the Tarik Muharemovic statistics section, while his full rise from Austria to Juventus, Sassuolo and Leeds is documented in the career overview.
The message from Elland Road is therefore increasingly clear: Muharemovic is viewed as part of Leeds' future, and any club hoping to change that will need to make an exceptional proposal.
