Tarik Muharemovic, young Sassuolo defender, gave an interview during his meeting with the Bosnian selection. First addressing the subject of the World Cup, the player does not hide his enthusiasm: “It’s a childhood dream to be able to compete in such a competition. I can't wait to be there. Too bad for my Italian friends who were absent this time, but I'm sure they will come back next time. » He does not fail to recall the emotion experienced during the qualification, punctuated by a memorable match: “It was one of the best matches of my career, I am grateful to our supporters. »
Asked about the elimination of Italy, Muharemovic confided: “It was not easy, Italy remains a great nation, with high level players. But our Balkan mentality always pushes us to move forward, to believe in our chances until the end, and that made the difference. »
Grateful to Sassuolo, the defender believes he has grown thanks to the confidence of his club: “I feel stronger, I thank the coach and the club who came for me two years ago, when others had doubts. Sassuolo supported me, they knew I had potential. »

While his name is circulating in transfer rumors, notably towards Juventus or Inter, Muharemovic appreciates the interest generated: “It's nice to be associated with big teams, but, for the moment, I am entirely focused on the World Cup. I have already known Juventus, you never know what the future will hold... We will see later.
As for a near future in a posh club, he wants to be lucid but ambitious: “I was born ready to take on challenges. I am still at Sassuolo and my current goal remains the World Cup. Then we'll see. Obviously, playing in the Champions League is also one of my dreams. »
Asked whether he would favor Inter or a return to Juventus, Muharemovic remains evasive: “I have to choose according to my feelings and where I plan to over several years. I cannot say whether I will stay in Italy or go abroad. I haven't discussed anything with my agents yet. »
For now, the Bosnian defender is keeping a cool head, determined to take advantage of his adventure in the selection and continue his progress at club, while waiting for a possible big leap towards the European elite.
