Edin Dzeko urges Sassuolo teammate Muharemovic to join Inter: ‘It’s the right choice’

Dzeko hails Chivu’s ‘incredible’ Inter double as he backs Muharemovic for top level

Dzeko also took the opportunity to defend Inter’s Scudetto and Coppa Italia double under Cristian Chivu, pushing back against suggestions the title was won by default.

“Perhaps some have dwelt on the Champions League elimination, but I think Inter and Chivu had an incredible year,” he said.

“I am very attached to that club, I spent two wonderful years there and I know what it means to play for those colours. You cannot say, as I have heard, that they won because the others were not up to it. I do not see it that way. They won two titles because they deserved it. Everyone, starting with Chivu, did incredible work. A double in your first year is something truly significant and the club is working to keep growing. It is no coincidence.”

Muharemovic is one of the most sought-after young defenders in Serie A.

A left-footed centre-back, he joined Sassuolo in the summer of 2024 for €2 million after being developed by Juventus, who retain a 50% sell-on clause from any future transfer, meaning they stand to receive around €17.5 million should Inter meet Sassuolo’s €35 million asking price.

He has made 62 appearances for the Neroverdi, contributing four goals and four assists, and has earned 12 caps for the Bosnia national team.
