The information portal "fanatikipress.info", which appears to be part of the portal "Korrektpress.com", yesterday (July 22) published an article claiming that Kosovo national football team goalkeeper Arijanet Muriq has signed a contract with the English Premier League team.
However, during fact-checking, hibrid.info has proven that this claim is false, as the English team Burnley, with which Muriq signed, does not play in the English Premier League, but in a league below the "Championship".
Burnley finished 18th last season, a position that sends them to a league below. (see here)

During research through online search engines and social networks, this article with false claims was also shared on Facebook by the page "Fansat e Futbollit Kosovar", which has nearly 70 thousand followers. (see here)
In this Facebook page's post, it is noted that some readers have realized that the news is false, reacting that Muriq will play with Burnley in the Championship, not in the Premier League. (see photo below)
To further clarify the fact that Burnley will compete in the second tier of English football in the new 2022/23 season, which begins in August, hibrid.info brings you the table published by the EFL Championship. (see here)
Analyze:
The portal "fanatikipress.info" has incorrectly claimed that Kosovar goalkeeper Arijanet Muriq has signed a contract with Premier League team Burnley.
However, this claim is false, as was evident from the fact that the Burnley team did not compete in the new season in the Premier League, but one rank below (Championship), as last season they had finished in 18th place in the English football elite, a position that sends them one league lower.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info rates this article as "Error".
Reasoning:
The "Error" rating is given to media reports in which the media editorial staff made a mistake by publishing incorrect information or broadcasting unverified news from another source, without the clear intention of misinforming the public.
