The Facebook page "Albania Team" has published an article by the dubious portal "Television-24.com", in the content of which he writes about last night's performance (January 4) of Mallorca's Kosovar striker, Vedat Muriqi, in the match against Pontevedra valid for the King's Cup.
The "Albania Team" page, in the caption of this article published on Facebook, claimed that Muriqi "went to 40 million euros in value today."
After verification of the facts conducted by hibrid.info, based on the most credible online platform regarding player prices "Transfermarkt", it is said that Vedat Muriqi's current value is 10 million euros.

At the end of November, Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur reported that Aston Villa coach Unai Emery is insisting on the transfer of Muriqi, for whom the English are willing to pay 20 million euros. (see here)
Meanwhile, on January 2, the online sports media "TeamTalk.com" published an article, claiming that Aston Villa is ready to pay 30 million euros for the services of the Kosovar striker. (see here)
It seems that the "Albania Team" website linked the claim that Muriqi's value has increased to 40 million euros to Aston Villa's interest in purchasing him.
But the actual value of the player in the price of the offers for his transfer is not the same. So, the offer does not mean the price of the player, since the team interested in the services of any player must pay more than his value in the market in order to sign a contract with him.
The player valuation platform "Transfermarkt" states that Muriqi's current price is 10 million euros (updated on November 7, 2022). While his highest price was in December 2020, 17 million euros, at the time when the Kosovar striker was part of Lazio. (see here)

In the caption of this article, this site claimed that Muriqi's net worth has increased to 40 million euros.
After verifying the facts, this claim by this page is incorrect, as based on the player value platform "Transfermark", it is said that Muriqi's current value is 10 million euros, while the highest had reached 17 million euros, in December 2020, when the Kosovar striker was part of the Italian team Lazio.
