Legia Warszawa Secure Ermal Krasniqi on Season-Long Loan from Sparta Prague
Warsaw, August 25, 2025 — Legia Warszawa have bolstered their attacking options with the arrival of Kosovo international Ermal Krasniqi, who joins the club on a season-long loan from Sparta Prague. The deal includes an option to buy, signaling Legia’s intent to invest in dynamic wide talent ahead of a crucial campaign.
Krasniqi, 25, arrives in Warsaw seeking a fresh start after a challenging stint in the Czech capital, where minutes were limited despite flashes of individual brilliance. Known for his explosive pace, vertical dribbling, and flair in one-on-one situations, the winger is expected to add unpredictability and depth to Legia’s flanks.
“Ermal is a different kind of winger,” said sporting director Michał Żewłakow. “He brings a creative spark and a fearless mentality in the final third. We believe he can thrive in our system and grow into a key figure.”
Krasniqi made his name in the Romanian league before moving to Sparta Prague last summer. Though his transition was hampered by tactical mismatches, Legia’s coaching staff—led by Kosta Runjaić—see him as a perfect fit for their high-tempo, possession-based style.
The Kosovo international is expected to be available for Legia’s upcoming Ekstraklasa fixture and could feature in their UEFA Conference League qualifiers later this month.
With the option to make the move permanent, Legia fans will be watching closely to see if Krasniqi can reignite his form and become a long-term asset in Warsaw
