Ipswich Town faced significant changes in their squad in the aftermath of their Premier League relegation, with notable departures including goalkeeper Arijanet Muric. Muric’s struggles during the 2024/25 season led to his ouster from the first team, eventually resulting in a loan move to Sassuolo.
In a recent interview with Italian media, Muric expressed his desire to establish himself at a permanent club and hinted that he sees his future away from Ipswich Town. At 27, he aims to find stability at one club for an extended period.
Despite a disappointing spell at Ipswich Town, Muric has thrived since joining Sassuolo in Serie A. He has recorded four clean sheets and conceded only ten goals in ten league appearances, prompting reports that Sassuolo intends to exercise the option to purchase him permanently from Ipswich Town.
Given Muric’s impressive performances in Italy, it appears likely that Ipswich Town will not impede his permanent move. Both the player and the loan club seem content with the current arrangement, making a permanent switch a viable option.
Considering Muric’s success at Sassuolo, it seems logical for Ipswich Town to allow his exit. While some may suggest giving him another chance to justify his initial transfer fee of £15m, his current form indicates that the Tractor Boys could recoup a significant portion of that investment through a sale.
With Muric seeking a permanent settlement elsewhere, a departure from Ipswich Town appears inevitable. The possibility of a permanent move to Sassuolo seems promising, benefiting all parties involved. Muric will continue to focus on maintaining his impressive form with the Serie A side as they strive to rebuild following their promotion from Serie B.
