Playing career

Club career

Musliu started his football career in FK Renova where he spent most of his first 5 years. In between, he also spent 6 months on loan at FK Gostivar. The summer in 2014, he also transferred to Swiss side St. Gallen on a one year contract, but he didn't get to play there as they sent him back on loan to Renova.

On 3 June 2017, he made a transfer to Macedonian champion FK Vardar where they hired him as a reinforcement for the upcoming Champions League qualifications.[1] In the end, Musliu helped Vardar qualify for the 2017-18 Europa League Group stage, becoming the first Macedonian football club to ever qualify for a European UEFA tournament.[2]

On 5 August 2019, he moved from Shkëndija to Hungarian outfit Fehérvár.[3]

International career

Musliu was part of the Macedonia national under-21 football team from 2013 to 2017, winning 12 caps. He was part of the first Macedonia U21 generation that qualified for a final tournament[4] where he also got to play in the last game in the groups, coming in as a substitute in the 28th minute for Marjan Radeski in the match against Portugal.[5]

On 2 September 2017, he also made his debut for the senior national team in a World Cup qualifier against Israel, where Visar played the full game and helped his side keep a clean sheet in the 1-0 victory.[6] As of 1 April 2020, Musliu has earned a total of 20 caps, scoring 1 goal.[7][8]
