A striking confession has come regarding Fenerbahçe's Kosovan striker Vedat Muriqi. Igli Tare, who was serving as the sporting director of the Italian club at the time Muriqi transferred to Lazio, said that the star striker rejected PSG.
Remarkable statements have come from former sporting director Igli Tare—who transferred the star player from Fenerbahçe to Lazio in 2020—about Vedat Muriqi, the Kosovar striker of Süper Lig giant Fenerbahçe.
''AN EXTRAORDINARY STRIKER''
Igli Tare described Muriqi as ''an extraordinary striker in the way he interprets the game,'' but stated that for various reasons he could not reveal his full potential at Lazio.
PSG ADMISSION
The really striking part of the interview was about Paris Saint-Germain. Tare said that Muriqi had a private plane ready to go to Paris to transfer to PSG, but he rejected this offer in order to go to Lazio. He also added that other clubs made offers of more than twice his salary, and Muriqi turned these down too in order to come to Italy.
SEASON PERFORMANCE
The 32-year-old experienced forward has produced 9 goals and 2 assists in 18 matches he played for Fenerbahçe in all competitions this season.
