Club career

Early career and Manchester City

Murić is a product of various Swiss youth teams such as Young Fellows Juventus, Zürich and Grasshoppers. In 2015, he joined with youth team of Manchester City.[5] On 27 July 2017, Muric signed a three-year contract extension with Manchester City.[6]

Short-time loan at NAC Breda and return from loan

On 31 July 2018, Murić joined Eredivisie side NAC Breda, on a season-long loan.[7][3] On 18 August 2018, he made his debut as a professional footballer in a 3–0 home win against De Graafschap after being named in the starting line-up.[8][9]

Four days after debut with NAC Breda, Manchester City recalled him from loan to replace injured goalkeeper Claudio Bravo as their second choice.[10] Three days later, he was named as a Manchester City substitute for the first time in a Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[11] His debut with Manchester City came on 25 September in the 2018–19 EFL Cup third round against Oxford United after being named in the starting line-up.[12][13]

Loan at Girona

On 18 September 2020, Murić joined Segunda División side Girona, on a season-long loan.[17] Eight days later, he made his debut in a 2–0 away defeat against Sporting de Gijón after being named in the starting line-up.[18]

Despite previously declaring his will to play for Montenegro after not being called up for the senior team, he opted to represent Kosovo instead.[29]
