The 21-year-old Tarik Muharemovic from Klagenfurt was loaned from Juventus Turin to second division side Sassuolo in August! He finally got some playing time there and even scored a goal in the 2:0 win against Serie A team Lecce in the cup. 

Smart move! In order to finally get some playing time, Klagenfurt's Tarik Muharemovic agreed to a loan from top team Juventus Turin (where he played the entire preparation this year!) to second division side Sassuolo at the end of August. From the industrial metropolis to the provinces - Sassuolo is a small town with just 40,000 inhabitants to the west of Bologna. And known for promoting and training young players.

A hotbed of talent
Players such as Manuel Locatelli (Juventus), Giacomo Raspadori (Napoli) and Gianluca Scamacca (Atalanta) made their breakthrough with the Green and Blacks.

Tarik has also not regretted his move to coach Fabio Grosso (a former world champion from 2006!). The 21-year-old central defender has made three appearances in the last four games. Most recently, they won 5:2 in Brescia and are third in the table. "The club has big plans this year, they want to get promoted to Serie A again," says Tarik.

AC Milan awaits in the Cup
In the Cup, they even beat a Serie A team in the second round, Lecce, 2:0. Tarik scored the 1:0 with his head from a corner. "I feel totally at home here. The team has given me a great reception and I can finally play. Playing time is the most important thing. In Turin, I trained with the first team for two years alongside my fixed appearances for Juve-Next Gen and didn't get a chance." Sassuolo now face AC Milan in the round of 16 on December 3.

But Juve are now also thinking about the talented defender from Carinthia again. Chief defender Bremer is out for six months with a torn cruciate ligament. They are therefore considering recalling the player from Klagenfurt early in the winter break.
