Aro Muric’s loan move to Serie A new boys Sassuolo is close to being confirmed, according to a report in Italy.

Sky Sports Italia is reporting that the keeper is expected in Italy today. Previously, it’s been reported that a loan with an option to buy for €10 million (£8.7 million) had been under discussion between the clubs.

Last season’s Serie B champions were initially mentioned in connection with a move for Muric early last month.

However, last week, the 26-year-old was strongly linked with a loan move to Turkish Süper Lig side Çaykur Rizespor with reports there claiming the deal was making strong progress.

Asked about Muric’s situation at last Wednesday’s press conference, manager Kieran McKenna said: “There’s interest from different leagues, different teams, different divisions. I don’t think there’s anything to confirm.

“We’ll look at each situation, each offer as they come in and we’ll see if anything comes of any of it.”

Early last week, Muric was dropped from the number one shirt to the number 49, something which illustrated that he isn’t in McKenna’s plans for the campaign ahead.

The Swiss-born keeper, who has also been linked with AS Monaco this summer, endured a tough first season at Portman Road having signed from Burnley for £8 million plus £2 million in add-ons in July last year.

Muric’s 2024/25 was ended prematurely by a shoulder injury which required surgery and his only involvement in pre-season was as a half-time sub in the 2-1 victory over Charlton at Colchester and he wasn’t in the squad at Birmingham on Friday.

blues1 added 17:36 - Aug 12 As usual,the moron fans just can't have any decency. Well, I say fans. Thats a very loose term for them. Whatever anyone's views of Muric are, why can't you just wish the guy well for his future? But then, that doesnt fit ur agenda does it. Just think, ur all gonna have to find another scapegoat for this season, if things don't go well every game.

armchaircritic59 added 17:56 - Aug 12 Unfortunately some people always have to have a scapegoat. Yes he made some mistakes. Do you? I do, plenty! Good luck for the future Aro, I know there's a really decent keeper in there, hope it all works out.

jazzback added 17:57 - Aug 12 People saying about the amount we spent on him 8m, and I doubt he triggered any of the add one, so to get a loan fee and option to sell for 8.7m is good business. Shane it didn't work out, Palmer made several mistakes too.

Bluearmy_81 added 17:58 - Aug 12 Bazza, if certain players are so delicate and sensitive that they can’t take a bit of deserved criticism on SM from one of the most placid, passive fanbases in the country (the Evans years is testament to that) then you’ve got to ask yourself are they up to the job?! And what else could be causing the catastrophic performances?

Bluearmy_81 added 18:04 - Aug 12 Blues1, there you go with the abusive comments again just because someone has a different opinion to you. The irony is you probably call people snowflakes?! Maybe I think you’re a fckin moron for thinking Muric is any better than the catastrophic Sereni, but I haven’t resorted to abusive comments like you…

armchaircritic59 added 18:44 - Aug 12 Townsupporter, indeed, opinions when thoughtfully stated are the lifeblood of sites like this. Outright abuse of players and other posters isn't, however. Agree to disagree, absolutely, can be done pleasantly.

Carberry added 19:40 - Aug 12 I agree armchaircritic, but the problem is some people come on here simply to abuse others because they don't agree with what they say and justify it by saying they are calling out morons and their views, then it spirals into the toxic site we have now. We know who they are, they have an entitled view which means they believe they can aggressively attack others. The people who run this site need to clamp down on it because it's going to get out of hand and people will leave.
