Zurab Museliani (Georgian: ზურაბ მუსელიანი; born 17 September 1999) is a Georgian footballer who plays as a striker for Bosnian Premier League club Velež.
Museliani lived in Spain as a child. He moved back with his family to Georgia at the age of twelve.[1]
Museliani started his career with 2nd league Georgian side WIT Georgia in 2017. As the club secured promotion the next season, on 3 March 2019 he made a debut in the top national division and scored the only goal of the match against Dila.[2] This year Museliani took part in all league games save for one, which he had to miss out on due to suspension. With the club back in the second league in 2020, Museliani finished as the best striker of his team among the top five goalscorers of the league.[3]
In 2021, Museliani signed for Shukura. With 14 goals scored the next year in the 2nd division, he became the team's top goalscorer again.
In 2023, he joined Gagra.[4] A very special day was awaiting him on the final day of this season on 2 December when Museliani netted seven times against his former club Shukura. With such achievement Museliani became Georgia's second top-league player after Gia Jishkariani and the first Erovnuli Liga footballer.[5] Eventually, he ended up as a joint top scorer of the 2023 Erovnuli Liga with seventeen goals.[6]
In early 2024, he signed for South Korean side Gyeongnam FC,[7] although after a half season moved to Bosnian club Velež.[8]
