Muric has spent the 2025-26 season on loan in Serie A with the Neroverdi, who are hoping to secure a top-half finish in their first season back in the top flight after promotion from Serie B last term.
The 27-year-old has played for 32 of Sassuolo’s 36 Serie A matches this campaign, conceding 43 goals and keeping six clean sheets in the process.
Sassuolo have an option to turn Muric’s loan deal from Ipswich into a permanent transfer for a fee in the region of €10m, but the Kosovo international has confirmed that he plans to leave the Neroverdi this season, which means that he is expected to return to Portman Road, where he remains under contract until the summer of 2028.
“I’m grateful for this season, but I don’t intend to play for Sassuolo next season,” Muric told Gianlucadimarzio.com. “At the end of the loan, my time here will also end. It was a positive year and I enjoyed it, but I’ve informed the club that I don’t want to stay here after this season for personal reasons.”
