# Fenerbahce set €35m valuation for Villa target Muriqi

Turkish giants Fenerbahce have set a €35m price tag on in-form striker Vedat Muriqi, according to a report on [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/calciomercato-lazio-stabilito-il-prezzo-dell-obiettivo-in-attacc-82141).

As stated by [the Italian news outlet](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/calciomercato-lazio-stabilito-il-prezzo-dell-obiettivo-in-attacc-82141), the striker is being closely watched by Premier League sides Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Burnley.

Villa [reportedly sent scouts](https://readastonvilla.com/2020/02/05/villa-send-scouts-to-watch-muriqi/) to watch Muriqi in action during Fenerbahce’s clash with rivals Trabzonspor last weekend, a match that they went on to lose 2-1.

### READ ASTON VILLA VERDICT

Muriqi has found the back of the net [13 times in all competitions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/vedat-muriqi/leistungsdaten/spieler/256267) this season so we understand why the Turkish club value him so highly.

Furthermore, he is contracted at the club [until the end of the 2023 season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/vedat-muriqi/profil/spieler/256267), meaning the club have no obligation to let him go before then, so they can ask for whatever fee they desire.

Whether Muriqi is actually worth €35m is a different question, but the fact that Alexander Sorloth, who also plays in the Super Lig and has[eight more goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexander-sorloth/leistungsdaten/spieler/238407) than Muriqi, is [available to buy next season for only €6m](https://turkish-football.com/monaco-scout-19-goal-crystal-palace-striker-alexander-sorloth-but-turkish-side-have-e6m-option-to-buy/), shows that maybe he isn’t.

We feel that Fenerbahce could be using this valuation as a way of putting off the multiple clubs monitoring the Kosovo international and with Villa’s [current financial difficulties](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7807011/Aston-Villa-threat-FFP-rules-Dean-Smith-possibly-forced-fire-sale.html), we believe that there is no way the club could meet that asking price.
