Aro Muric could extend his stay in Italy’s elite soccer division with Juventus keen on the current Sassuolo loanee.
According to TuttoSport, Muric is attracting interest from the Serie A giants. The Kosovo international has enjoyed a strong campaign to date after struggling with parent club Ipswich in 2024-25.
Muric’s upturn in fortunes certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed. Juve are plotting a change of ‘keeper with Michele Di Gregorio failing to impress head coach Luciano Spalletti.

Aro Muric Wanted By Juventus
With Juventus interested in Sandro Tonali, the Bianconeri are set to continue their shopping in England by bringing Aro Muric to the Allianz Stadium.
The 27-year-old has earned plenty of plaudits in 2025-26 after starring for Sassuolo. Last season’s Serie B winners are currently 10th in Italy’s elite.
In 17 top-flight appearances, Muric has conceded just 20 times and kept four clean sheets. His strong performances at the Mapei Stadium have helped the Neroverdi make a strong return to Serie A.
Interestingly, Luciano Spalletti will get to see Muric in action on Tuesday night. His side travels to Emilia-Romagna to play Fabio Grosso’s side on matchday 19.
In some ways, Muric will be auditioning for a place in Turin. If he shows the X Factor, it’s likely the Old Lady will lodge a bid this summer when his loan expires.
How Much Will Muric Cost Juventus?
According to TransferMarkt, Aro Muric is currently priced at €7.5million. However, Sassuolo does have an option – not obligation – to buy the Kosovan for €10m at the end of the season.
If Juventus do ramp up their interest, it’ll give Muric plenty to ponder. Perhaps his decision will be made easier if Luciano Spalletti can claim a top-four finish.
Spalletti is already chasing Euro 2020 winner Federico Chiesa this winter to help sustain the Bianconeri’s Champions League aspirations.
If that can be achieved, it’s likely the Old Lady will need no more than €10m to tempt Ipswich into negotiations for their unwanted shot-stopper.
