According to Fanatik, Vedat Muriqi did not accept an offer from Galatasaray and thanked them for the proposal.

Galatasaray's technical director, Okan Buruk, wants to sign Vedat Muriqi from Mallorca. According to Takvim, Buruk has identified Muriqi as a pivot striker to replace Icardi. It is stated that Okan Buruk has had direct talks with Vedat Muriqi. It is also reported that the player is open to returning to Turkey. Official negotiations between the parties are expected to commence in the upcoming days.

Galatasaray is in the market for a new forward, prompted by an injury Victor Osimhen picked up on international duty and Mauro Icardi's lack of fitness to play a full match. A Radyospor report indicates the club is considering a move for Vedat Muriqi, Mallorca's 31-year-old Kosovan striker. Agent Tahsin Koca said he learned from transfer discussions that Galatasaray might pursue a forward with Süper Lig experience. Koca specified the club's interest in Muriqi is for a loan with a purchase option, describing the potential deal as plausible. He suggested that Mallorca having four strikers on their roster could facilitate the transfer. Koca also revealed that Juventus proposed Milik, but Galatasaray's management declined due to the player being injured. Similarly, Keinan from Udinese was suggested but not pursued because he lacked league experience. The agent added that Banza, who was on loan at Trabzonspor last season, is a potential alternative if a deal for Muriqi fails to materialize. Muriqi's contract with the Spanish club runs until June 2029, and his Transfermarkt value is estimated at €5 million. Beşiktaş has also reportedly been linked with the player.
