Fenerbahce linked with fresh move for Mallorca striker Vedat Muriqi

Vedat Muriqi, the Kosovar striker currently plying his trade with La Liga side Mallorca, is reportedly a target for Turkish giants Fenerbahçe, as per recent reports. The Süper Lig club is prepared to offer up to €10 million to secure his return, highlighting their ambition to bolster their attacking options in the upcoming transfer window.

Muriqi is no stranger to Turkish football, having previously played for Fenerbahçe during the 2019-20 season. His performances during that stint were instrumental in cementing his reputation as a reliable target man, making him a fan favorite in Istanbul. A potential return would see the 30-year-old reunite with a league where he enjoyed significant success and left an indelible mark.

Despite his established reputation, Muriqi’s current form at Mallorca has been modest. In 14 appearances this season, he has managed to score three goals and provide two assists. While these numbers may not be headline-grabbing, Muriqi remains a vital player in head coach Jagoba Arrasate’s system, often contributing through his physical presence and link-up play. His value to Mallorca extends beyond raw statistics, as he provides a focal point for the team’s attacking efforts.

Muriqi’s prowess is perhaps best showcased on the international stage. He has been a cornerstone of the Kosovo national team, earning 56 caps and scoring an impressive 28 goals. His ability to perform consistently for his country has solidified his status as one of Kosovo’s most prominent footballers.

One factor that could facilitate Vedat Muriqi’s departure is the emergence of Canadian forward Cyle Larin. Larin, who has matched Muriqi’s tally of three goals this season in just his last two appearances, has shown the form needed to step into the spotlight. His rapid rise could make it easier for Mallorca to part ways with their Kosovar striker while maintaining a strong offensive presence.

For Mallorca, the potential €10 million fee would represent a substantial financial boost, allowing them to reinvest in other areas of their squad. For Fenerbahçe, the acquisition of Muriqi would bring back a proven performer who understands the demands of the Süper Lig and has the experience to make an immediate impact.

As negotiations develop, Muriqi’s future will be a storyline to watch in the winter transfer window. Whether he stays at Mallorca or returns to Fenerbahçe, the move could be pivotal for both clubs and the player himself.
