Fenerbahce are willing to part company with their star striker for the right price but have slapped a lofty £30 million price-tag on him.

Muriqi played the full 90 minutes against Alanyaspor on Saturday but was unable to get himself on the scoresheet.

The powerful striker failed to register a shot on target and received a rating of 6.61 from Whoscored for his performance.

The Kosovo international has been in impressive form for Fenerbahce this season with four assists and 12 goals in 20 Turkish Super Lig games.

Scouts are expected to the present once again when Fenerbahce take on Ankaragucu on Saturday.
