Fenerbahçe's new transfer Vedat Muriqi made statements on the club's channel. Speaking about the transfer process, Vedat Muriqi also made a surprising confession.
Fenerbahce's new signing Vedat Muric expressed his satisfaction with wearing the yellow-navy jersey. The Kosovar footballer, speaking to FB TV, stated his happiness in reuniting with the yellow-navy colors.
''THIS GREAT CLUB IS NOWHERE ELSE'' Thanking those who worked for his transfer, the experienced footballer said, "I am very happy. Being here is an honor. I knew I missed this place, but now I understand how much. They gave me the opportunity again in this great club. Since I left, I have been constantly following, even from afar, I am involved in affairs. It's as if I never left. This great club is nowhere else. I had opportunities in Europe, gained experience, but truly, the greatness of our Fenerbahce is unique."
''I HAD CALLED HER FIRST'' Vedat Muric shared the following about the transfer process:
"The first contact was in January. At the start of the season, Mirsad Turkcan called me, Oğuz Cetin got in touch. I said, 'Right away.' He said, 'The season is over, take a vacation if you want,' but I said, 'You handle the deal, we'll do the vacation later, it's not important.' The opportunity came, and I was definitely going to leave, without other teams complicating things too much, let's just reach an agreement. The 25-year-old Vedat is no more; there is a more experienced Vedat now. But there is a Vedat much more eager than he was at 25. When they called, I was with my dear wife, of course, and I told her. She was very happy because she is a big Fenerbahce fan. The whole family are Fenerbahce fans, but my wife has a special love for Fenerbahce. She was also very happy and immediately said, 'Okay, let's do it.' In fact, she started researching, 'Let's see where we'll stay, what we'll do.' I said, 'Wait, we've talked, let the clubs agree.' But she was very happy, we were all very happy as a family. That's why I had called her first in the process."
''WE WILL REACH THE CHAMPIONSHIP'' The Kosovar footballer commented on coach Ismail Kartal, saying, "This is, if I'm not mistaken, our coach's fourth term. He has become one of the club's iconic figures, maybe even the foremost. Whenever he came, he delivered the same performance, the same desire, the same game, and with the same passion, he provided fans an enjoyable game experience and contributed positively in points. I know that no other coach has reached the points that Ismail Hoca has achieved in recent periods. Under his leadership, this year, God willing, we will reach our goal of the championship."
