in November, sports witness Ipswich Town's Arizente Muric's comments regarding his ongoing loan at Sassuolo were covered.
The goalkeeper explained that he is now looking for a club to join permanently, as he enjoys his time in Italy. He hinted at the possibility of remaining at the Serie A team, who are punching above their weight this season.
Muric is key in this, having emerged as arguably one of the best keepers in the Italian top-flight. He has started all but one league game and has kept six clean-sheets.
Now, Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali has spoken about the Ipswich Town player.
Sassuolo could demand Muric waiver from Ipswich
The Italian spoke to Radio GR1 about several Sassuolo players. He was asked specifically about Muric and expressed his admiration for the player while hinting at a permanent move.
Carnevali said- relayed by tutomercatoweb: : "He's a player we've signed on loan with an option to buy. He's doing very well, and it's not that surprising. We have an option to buy from Ipswich, and we'll evaluate him accordingly."
Furthermore, Carnevali hinted at the fact that Sassuolo could demand a possible discount in a permanent deal for Muric.
"He is showing great value, and in the right circumstances, he is a player who has given us a lot. I think he is one of the most promising players and has shown the best things in this league."
what happens from here
As things stand, the Italian side have the option to buy Muric permanently for just €10m.
Although this is not a huge sum by English football standards, it could be problematic for Sassuolo. They may need to sell one or two key players in Ismail Kone or Armand Lorient to finance a permanent deal.
It remains to be seen whether Ipswich Town are ready to negotiate. Muric has impressed enough in Italy to command a €10m fee. Having played for three different clubs in England, he could also attract interest from Premier League clubs.
So Sassuolo may simply have to meet the asking price or possibly lose Muric in the summer.
