Nedim Bajrami, our darling midfielder from the land of Macedonia, was born on an unsuspecting day of 28th February, 1999. At 26 years of age, he is deemed proud of his 1.79m (5ft 10in) height and 68kg (10st 9lb) weight. Conveniently, he's found a home in the infamous number 14 jersey as he sways his magic for Rangers.
As per the gospels of Transfermarkt, Bajrami's market value hovers around £2.5m. Now we wouldn't want to argue with them, would we?
The curtain rises on Bajrami's professional career back in July 2009, when he opted to weave his silky skills at Grasshoppers in the Super League in Switzerland as a dewy-eyed trainee. At the Grasshoppers, he managed to make fleeting appearances for the first squad, scoring a few goals in the process. In the summer of 2019, our hero exchanged his Swiss cheese for pasta, joining Empoli in Italian Serie B for the modest sum of £430k. During his tenure there, Bajrami added a few more goals and appearances to his CV, before the Sassuolo brigade came calling in 2023, thirsty for his services.
For Bajrami, it was then time to up sticks from his second Italian home, Empoli, and sail to Sassuolo, this time in Serie A. The move was sealed for a whopping £5.2m. He graced the pitch on several occasions, and of course, the back of the net on some. However, as fate would have it, it was soon time to wave arrivederci to the sun-drenched Serie A, and utter a hearty 'hello bonny lad' to the wind-swept terrains of Scotland.
Yes, in August of 2024, our cheery protagonist transferred to Rangers, in the Premiership in Scotland, for a sum around £3.5m. The hoops of the Rangers jersey clearly agreed with him, as he trotted out for more league matches, and even managed to score a few.
Currently, Bajrami is seen flamboyantly flaunting his talents in Rangers' jersey. Interestingly, he has also been spotted strutting his stuff in various tournaments, notably the League Cup, World Cup Qualifiers Europe, Euro Qualifiers and the Champions League Qualifiers. Whether he's appearing as a starter or coming off the bench, he does love to occasionally treat the crowd to a goal or two. Such generosity!
