Fenerbahce also denied receiving a bid from Manchester United.
The Turkish media reported that United made an offer that was rejected over the winter transfer window.
The report also claims that interest from United disrupted Muriqi and resulted in a dip in form.
Fenerbahce reportedly made the following comments to the newspaper: “There was no offer from Manchester United.
“Burnley did made an offer which we turned down and that was the case close. It is true that there are clubs from across Europe interested in Muriqi and keeping tabs on him.
“The only side that have made an offer for Muriqi is Burnley.”
The 1.94m tall striker has 13 goals and five assists in all competitions this term.
Fenerbahce expect several scouts to attend the Intercontinental derby against Galatasaray at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium on Saturday.
The Yellow-Navies could be forced to listen to offers for the powerful forward at the end of the season to meet their Financial Fair Play requirements.
The Istanbul giants are in a debt crisis and must sell players in order to make additional signings this summer.
