Town keeper Aro Muric’s loan move to Serie A new boys Sassuolo has been confirmed.

The deal is understood to include an option for last season’s Serie B champions to buy the Kosovan international for €10 million (£8.7 million) next summer.

Sassuolo were initially mentioned in connection with a move for Muric early last month, but last week the 26-year-old was strongly linked with a loan move to Turkish Süper Lig side Çaykur Rizespor.

The Swiss-born keeper, who was also 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.

Having made 19 appearances in all competitions, 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.

The one-time Manchester City youngster’s Town contract runs to the summer of 2028.

Bazza8564 added 12:49 - Aug 13 Best all round outcome, hope he plays well and we sell him next summer. But i'd go further! Walton for me hasn't impressed since league one days, and if you were at the Valley for the 4-4 you are probably still having the same nightmares.... With a year to go on his dealt wouldn't surprise me one bit for us to move him on and look for a PL quality keeper and use Palmer as a number 2.A lot of keepers either have or are about to move in the PL, i'm not saying we sign Nick pope but someone a bit older who has been displaced and still wants to be first choice..... Loan with an obligation maybe, or use some of the Omari money?

Marinersnose added 12:55 - Aug 13 Good luck to him. It hasn’t worked out here for him. Unfortunately we still have Walton flapping at crosses. Muric must be laughing his socks off. He can at least be proud of some good performances in the PL where we won games

tractorboykent added 17:32 - Aug 13 No doubt some of the people celebrating his departiure now were the same geniuses on here last season who were certain that we'd go surging up the Prem if only we dropped him. He became a scapegoat. The efact is that some of his mistakes cost us points but some of his saves won us points too.
