Vedat Muriqi Becomes Mallorca’s Record Scorer as Brace Eases Relegation Fears

His 2029 contract gives Mallorca leverage over any interest from bigger clubs.

Overview

  • Muriqi, who scored twice Sunday against Rayo Vallecano, reached 55 goals for the club and passed Samuel Eto'o as Mallorca's all-time top scorer.
  • His season tally sits at 21, leaving him two behind Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé in the race for LaLiga's Pichichi award for top scorer.
  • The 3-0 win over Rayo moved Mallorca out of the relegation zone and kept survival as the team's main target.
  • He has said he would only accept a transfer if the club needed the money, as local outlets speculate about interest from larger teams such as Barcelona.
  • Supporters and coaches praise his humility and bond with the island, and he is now chasing Dani Güiza's club record of 27 league goals in a single season.
