Ernest Muçi (Albanian pronunciation: [ɛɾnɛst mutʃi]; born 19 March 2001) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Süper Lig club Trabzonspor and the Albania national team. He is known for his versatility, technical ability, and scoring from long range.[1][2][3]

A product of KF Tirana's youth academy, Muçi made his senior debut in 2018 and played an important role in helping the club return to the Kategoria Superiore, later contributing to their 25th league title. In February 2021, he joined Polish side Legia Warsaw, winning the Ekstraklasa in his first season as well as the Polish Cup in 2023. After making over 100 appearances, Muçi left the club in February 2024 to join Beşiktaş for a reported fee of €10 million, winning the Turkish Cup and Turkish Super Cup in his first months with the team. The following year, he joined Trabzonspor on loan for the 2025–26 season, where he won the Turkish Cup, and later completed a permanent move to the club.

Muçi represented Albania at under-19 and under-21 levels before making his senior debut at the age of 20 in 2021 during the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. He was also part of Albania's successful Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, as the team qualified for the tournament as group leaders, and was subsequently named in the squad for the finals.

Club career

Tirana

Born in Albania's capital Tirana, Muçi began playing football at the age of 10 with local youth sides before joining KF Tirana in 2017, the club he supported growing up.[4][5] He initially joined the club's under-17 side, and in January 2018 received his first call-up to the senior squad for a mid-season training camp in Turkey.[6]

Muçi made his professional debut at the age of 16 years and 10 months on 28 January 2018, coming on as a 56th-minute substitute for Bedri Greca in a 3–0 home win against Shkumbini in the 2017–18 Kategoria e Parë.[7] He scored his first senior goal on 3 March 2018 in a 4–1 victory over Shënkolli, netting in the 78th minute shortly after being introduced from the bench.[8] Later that month, he scored twice in a 5–1 home win against Apolonia Fier.[9] In April, Muçi signed his first professional contract with Tirana until summer 2020, with the option of renewing for one more year.[10] He finished the campaign with 11 appearances and three goals, helping Tirana win the championship and secure promotion back to the Kategoria Superiore.

He made his top-flight debut on 2 September 2018, scoring in a 3–1 away defeat to Kukësi after coming on as a half-time substitute for Yunus Sentamu.[11] During the 2018–19 season, Muçi made eight league appearances and scored once as Tirana narrowly avoided relegation. While featuring sporadically for the first team, he was a regular for the under-19 side, scoring four goals in eleven matches as they finished third in Group A of the national youth league.[4]

In the 2019–20 season, Muçi became more involved with the first team as Tirana won their 25th league title. Although often used as a substitute,[12] he made decisive contributions, including braces in the 2–1 away win over Laçi on 22 December 2019,[13] and in the 5–1 derby victory over Partizani on 28 February 2020.[14] Muçi also finished as the Albanian Cup top scorer with five goals, as Tirana reached a second consecutive final but lost to Teuta.[15] He ended the campaign with 12 goals in all competitions, setting a personal best.

At the start of the 2020–21 season, Muçi signed a new one-year contract with Tirana.[16] Following the departure of main striker Michael Ngoo, he became a regular starter and made 20 league appearances in the first half of the campaign.[17] He scored his first goal of the season in a 4–1 Albanian Cup win over Shkumbini,[18] and his first league goal in a 3–2 defeat against Vllaznia on 21 November 2020.[19] In February 2021, Tirana announced his departure after more than three years with the club, during which he scored 23 goals and won two trophies.[20]

Legia Warsaw

On 23 February 2021, Muçi joined Polish champions Legia Warsaw, signing a contract until 30 June 2025.[21] The transfer fee was reported to be €500,000, while Tirana retained a 10 percent sell-on clause for any future transfer.[22] He made his debut four days later as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 away victory over Górnik Zabrze.[23] During the remainder of the season, he made seven league appearances, including two starts,[24] as Legia secured their 15th Ekstraklasa title.[25] Muçi started in the 2021 Polish Super Cup on 17 July 2021 against Raków Częstochowa, playing 58 minutes before being substituted off with the score at 0–1, as Legia later equalised but eventually lost 4–3 on penalties after a 1–1 draw.[26]

He scored his first goal for the club on 24 July 2021, a late winner against Wisła Płock on the opening day of the 2021–22 Ekstraklasa season.[27] On 4 August, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal in the third qualifying round away against Dinamo Zagreb, equalising late in a 1–1 draw.[28] Although Legia were eliminated after the return leg 1–2 on aggregate, they eventually managed to advance to the Europa League group stage.[29] He registered an assist in his first Europa League group match against Spartak Moscow on 15 September, helping Legia secure a 1–0 win.[30] On 22 March 2022, he scored in the 86th minute against Górnik Łęczna in the Polish Cup quarter-finals, sealing a 2–0 win and helping Legia advance to the semi-finals.[31] He finished the season with six goals in 36 appearances across all competitions as Legia ended the league season in tenth place.[32][33][34]

In the 2022–23 season, Muçi became a regular starter under manager Kosta Runjaić, starting 24 of 34 Ekstraklasa matches and making eight substitute appearances.[35] He scored on the opening day against Korona Kielce, in a 1–1 draw.[36] He scored a total of five league goals[37] as Legia finished runners-up.[38] Muçi featured in almost all rounds of the Polish Cup as a starter, missing only the quarter-finals, scoring once in five appearances as Legia reached the final.[39] In the final on 2 May against Raków Częstochowa, Muçi was substituted off in the 43rd minute following a tactical change after an early red card for his side, as the match finished 0–0 and Legia won 6–5 on penalties to secure the trophy.[40] Muçi started in the 2023 Polish Super Cup on 15 July 2023 against Raków Częstochowa and was substituted in the 64th minute as Legia went on to win on penalties after a 0–0 draw.[41]

He scored his first goal of the 2023–24 season in the UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round against Austria Vienna on 10 August, and added another in the return leg as Legia advanced to the group stage.[42][43][44] On 3 September 2023, Muçi scored twice in a 3–1 league victory over Widzew Łódź, taking his tally to four goals in the opening seven matches of the season.[45] Muçi scored again the following week, equalising in the 69th minute in a 1–1 away draw against Piast Gliwice.[46] He succeeded on the scoresheet again five days later, scoring twice in a 3–2 win over Aston Villa in the Conference League group stage.[47] In the first half of the 2023–24 season, Muçi scored nine goals in 33 appearances across all competitions before departing for Turkey to join Beşiktaş.[48][49]

Beşiktaş

On 9 February 2024, Süper Lig club Beşiktaş announced the signing of Muçi on a three-and-a-half-year contract, for a reported fee of €10 million, with Legia retaining a 10% sell-on clause.[50] Club president Hasan Arat personally flew to Warsaw to accompany Muçi to Istanbul on a private jet.[51] Muçi made his debut on 12 February in a 0–0 draw against Kayserispor,[52] and scored his first goal on 25 February in a 2–0 win over İstanbulspor.[53] He concluded his first half-season with four goals in 17 appearances and helped Beşiktaş win the Turkish Cup.

At the start of the 2024–25 season, following the arrival of Portuguese forward Rafa Silva, Muçi struggled to secure a consistent starting position under newly appointed manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst.[54] Media reports linked him with potential moves to Aston Villa and West Ham United,[55] but he ultimately remained at the club. He opened his scoring account for the season on 18 August in a 4–2 win over Antalyaspor.[56] Despite flashes of form, he was criticized by sections of the media and former club officials for inconsistency.[57][58] Following a poor run of results, van Bronckhorst left the club in November 2024, and Ole Gunnar Solskjær was appointed as Beşiktaş manager in January 2025.[59] Under Solskjær, Muçi remained part of the first-team squad; in April 2025, Turkish media reported that the coach was pleased with his recent performances and wanted him to stay at the club.[60] Muçi finished the season with 38 appearances and seven goals in all competitions, with the Turkish Super Cup being Beşiktaş's only trophy of the campaign.

Trabzonspor

Loan and permanent transfer (2025–26 season)

On 6 September 2025, Beşiktaş sent Muçi on loan to Trabzonspor until the end of the 2025–26 season, with an option to make the move permanent;[61] the loan included a fee of €1 million and a purchase option, with a potential permanent transfer fee of €8.5 million plus VAT.[62][63] Eight days later, Muçi made his debut as a substitute on matchday 3 of the 2025–26 Süper Lig, in a 1–0 loss against Fenerbahçe. During the first ten weeks of the season, he featured mostly from the bench with limited playing time,[64] as he adapted to his new surroundings at Trabzonspor.[65]

Muçi's breakthrough came in late November, when he scored twice after coming on as a substitute in a 4–3 away win against Başakşehir, including the winning goal in stoppage time.[66] He then scored a direct free kick against Konyaspor, which was later named the Süper Lig's "Goal of the Month" for November.[67][68] In December, he scored twice against Göztepe, was named in the Süper Lig Team of the Week, and extended his scoring run to four consecutive league matches with a goal against his parent club Beşiktaş.[69][70][71] He ended the year with a goal and an assist against Gençlerbirliği, with the goal later named "Goal of the Month" for December.[72][73]

His form continued into 2026 as he began the year by scoring twice and providing an assist in a 6–1 victory over İstanbulspor in the second round of the Turkish Cup.[74] Four days later, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory over Kocaelispor, reaching ten goals for the season.[75] He later recorded a goal and an assist in a 3–0 win against Samsunspor,[76] and scored against Fenerbahçe in a 3–2 defeat.[77] On 9 May, he scored the winner in a 2–1 victory over parent club Beşiktaş, a result that secured Trabzonspor's qualification for European competition.[78] Four days later, he netted a stoppage-time winner against Gençlerbirliği to send Trabzonspor into the Turkish Cup final.[79] On 20 May, Trabzonspor exercised the purchase option in Muçi's loan agreement, making the move permanent for €8.5 million plus VAT.[80] Two days later, Trabzonspor defeated Konyaspor 2–1 in the final, winning the club's tenth Turkish Cup.[81]

International career

Youth

Muçi began his international career in May 2018, when Albania under-19 manager Erjon Bogdani called him up for friendly matches against Kosovo, during which he made his debut.[82] On 8 September 2018, he scored his first goal for the under-19 side in a 1–0 friendly win over Iceland at the Roza Haxhiu Stadium.[83]

In September 2020, Muçi received his first call-up to the Albania under-21 team by coach Alban Bushi. On 4 September, he scored twice in a 5–1 victory over Austria in the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers.[84] On 7 October 2021, he netted another brace in a 2–0 win against Andorra.[85]

Senior

Muçi was first called up to the senior national team by Edoardo Reja on 28 August 2021 for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Poland, but did not make an appearance.[86] He made his senior debut on 15 November 2021 in another qualifier against Andorra.[87]

Under head coach Sylvinho, Muçi became a regular member of the national squad during the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. He made four substitute appearances and scored his first senior international goal in a 3–1 win over the Faroe Islands on 20 June 2023.[64][88] He added two more goals in friendlies against Bulgaria on 17 October 2023 and Liechtenstein on 3 June 2024.[89][90] Albania finished top of the group for the first time in its history, collecting 15 points, equal to the Czech Republic but ahead on head-to-head record, and qualified for the final tournament of a European Championship for the second time in history.[91]

In June 2024, Muçi was named in Albania's final 26-man squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[92] Muçi made two appearances in UEFA Euro 2024 Group B, playing the final minutes of Albania's opening group match on 15 June 2024 against Italy, a 2–1 defeat, and featured again as a late substitute in the final group match against Spain, which ended in a 1–0 loss.[93] He was an unused substitute in the remaining group match against Croatia as Albania were eliminated after finishing bottom of the group with one point.[94]

In autumn 2025, Muçi was initially included in the squad during the second part of Albania’s 2026 World Cup qualification campaign, but he was withdrawn ahead of the September matches due to lower back pain and disc inflammation.[95] He was then omitted from later squads in 2025.[96] In March 2026, Muçi returned to the national team squad for Albania's 2026 World Cup play-off semi-final against Poland, which Albania lost 2–1, ending their qualification campaign.[97][98]

Personal life

In a late 2019 interview, Muçi revealed that Real Madrid was his favourite club and named Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol, noting that he frequently watched videos of the Portuguese star as a child, a habit he continued as an adult as well.[5]

Muçi is in a relationship with Klea Verri, an Albanian basketball player who plays for Tirana. They have reportedly been together since high school. While Muçi plays football in Turkey, his partner supports him from Albania as she continues her own sports career.[99] On 10 October 2025, they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mei.[100]
