Vedat Muriqi, who has made a name for himself with his impressive performance in the Spanish La Liga this season, continues to remain on the radar of major clubs. While Fenerbahçe's transfer efforts for the Kosovan player, one of the standout strikers of the 2023-2024 season, are ongoing, it has emerged that Spanish giants Barcelona are also showing interest in the player.
It has been reported that Barcelona plans to part ways with their current striker Robert Lewandowski at the end of the season and has added Muriqi to their list as an alternative. It has been learned that the Catalan giants aim to complete the transfer at a more affordable price, despite the 40 million euro release clause in the star footballer's contract.
The 30-year-old forward, whose contract with Mallorca runs until 2029, has recorded 56 goals and 12 assists in the 148 matches he has played for his team to date.
While it is known that Fenerbahçe is also making attempts to add their former player to their squad, the final decision regarding Vedat Muriqi's future is expected to become clear at the end of the season. The intense interest the player is receiving from both Turkey and top-tier European clubs appears to be a candidate to be one of the most talked-about topics of the transfer season.
