The Yellow-Navies are keen on keeping Muriqi at the club until the end of next season if they book a place in the Champions League next term.

The board are of the view that Muriqi could be worth €50m after a season in the elite European football competition.

The ambitious valuation is in stark contrast to the £12.6m-£16.8m [€15-20m] the club hoped to sell him for in the summer.

Muriqi has another three-years remaining on his contract and has 13 goals as well as five assists in 20 appearances for Fenerbahce in all competitions this season.
