La Liga's Second Top Scorer Returns to Fenerbahçe

Fenerbahçe has reached an agreement with Mallorca for the transfer of striker Vedat Muriqi, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Nicolò Schira.

The transfer fee for the deal is €15 million, but 40%, or €7 million, of that sum will go to his former club, Lazio. Muriqi is set to sign a contract until the summer of 2029. This move marks a return to Fenerbahçe for the Kosovo international, where he previously played during the 2019/20 season. In that spell, he registered 17 goals and 7 assists in 36 matches, which earned him a transfer to the Stadio Olimpico.

Last season, the 32-year-old sensationally finished as the second-highest scorer in La Liga, despite his team being relegated from the Spanish top flight. He netted an impressive 23 goals in 37 appearances, falling just two goals short of Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé, who claimed the Pichichi Trophy.
