The Malta international has been without a club since leaving Portugal’s Farense at the end of the 2023/2024 campaign.

Muscat, 31, will be travelling to Turkey on Saturday morning to complete the transfer that would he see him play at Sanliurfaspor until the end of the season with an option for another year.

He is at the back of a spell at Portugal’s Farense, where he played 51 games, scoring 6 goals in the process. In addition, Muscat also played for Casa Pisa (61 appearances).
