The Premier League side will continue to monitor Muriqi for the rest of the season.
Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle United and Burnley have all scouted the Kosovo international recently as well.
The latest Muriqi transfer story follows a report in Fotospor that he is depressed after Fenerbahce blocked a potential move to the Red Devils in January.
The 25-year-old is reported as feeling disillusioned with Fenerbahce.
The Yellow-Navies were in the midst of the title race in January but now find themselves nine points behind leaders Trabzonspor who have a game in hand.
Fenerbahce are also nine points off second-place which is what they need to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Muriqi had all transfer negotiations blocked in January after being told the Yellow Canaries were playing for the title and prospect of Champions League football.
The 1.95m tall striker has 14 goals and six assists in all competitions this term.
Muriqi had been on a four-game scoring drought until he scored in the 2-2 draw away to Antalyaspor on Saturday.
