Leeds United considers early deal for defender Tarik Muharemovic

Summary

Leeds United is contemplating an early contract extension for defender Tarik Muharemovic, who joined the club in July for £34 million. Following a recent victory against Tottenham on November 7, the team now sits eighth in the Premier League with 14 points. Muharemovic has impressed with his performance, leading the league in clearances and playing every minute this season. Leeds may not rush into discussions, as his contract runs until 2031, and January is seen as a more strategic time for negotiations given Juventus' buy-back provision and the need for proper valuation.
