Muriqi determined to end his career in Mallorca

Striker Vedat Muriqi is Mallorca's treasure. The Kosovar has scored 13 goals in the current season in La Liga, a number that has not gone unnoticed by other clubs on the international stage. Despite this statistic, the idol of the fans of Mallorca continues to insist in every interview and admit that his only goal is not only to respect the contract that expires in 2027, but also to end his career as an active player with the team's shirt Spanish. Muriqi has spoken about current events and changes in Mallorca, including his continuation on the island for next season. In Mallorca, he has insisted that he feels at home.

"I'm at home, the fans love me, I love them too and I'm on an island that's a paradise. I hope I can stay until the end of my career, not just until the end of my contract. My family is very comfortable in Mallorca", said Muriqi.

He explained this when asked about the offers that could arrive for him in the summer transfer window. The Mallorca striker, with 13 goals, is just one goal away from equaling the club's previous strikers, Albert Luque and Samuel Eto'on. He is happy with the comparison he is being made.

"It's fun to be compared to players like Eto'o, Guiza or other strikers. I would go over the figure of 14 goals, but it is true that I am not too obsessed with that", he said.

Muriqi always puts the team before himself and says that he enjoys Mallorca's victories more than his goals.

"The goal is for my team to win and get the points, because if you score two goals and lose three points, it's not the same feeling. It is better to win on Friday against Cadiz and then think about goals", said Muriqi.

The representative of Kosovo has admitted that his dream is to win the King's Cup with Mallorca.

"My dream is not to play in a cup final, but to win it. I hope it can be achieved and I think we can achieve this success. With two or three more steps we can have an important team", he said.

Finally, he also talked about the 41 points won by Mallorca this season in La Liga so far. However, he insists that until the club will ensure its survival in the elite of Spanish football, he and others will not be calm.

"It will be stressful until we finally secure survival. We need to get three points as soon as possible. We have to win on Friday and I think that those three points would be the salvation and then we will be able to play more calmly in the last four games", said Muriqi.

Mallorca hosts Cadiz on Friday from 21:00, in the match of the 34th week of the Spanish La Liga. Mallorca is currently ranked 12th in the table.
