About the player
Rey Manaj was 17 years and 7 months old when he scored for Cremonese in Serie B in October 2014. He had joined Cremonese from the youth ranks of Piacenza and turned professional there that year.
Inter Milan signed him in 2015. In his first season with the club's youth side he won the Coppa Italia Primavera, scoring in the final against Juventus, and finished as the team's top scorer in the Primavera phase. The senior side then sent him out on loan to Pescara, Pisa and Granada.
Albacete signed him in June 2018, initially on loan with an obligation to buy. Albacete made the deal permanent in July 2019, after he had scored nine goals in 37 league appearances. Barcelona B signed him in January 2020, and he was registered with the first team, though he never played a competitive senior match for Barcelona. He did win the Trofeo Joan Gamper with them in 2020 and 2021. The 2021–22 season was spent on loan at Spezia.
His Barcelona contract was terminated in 2022 and he joined Watford on a free transfer. A year later he signed for Sivasspor. In July 2025 he moved to Al-Sharjah and won the UAE Super Cup that year. On 3 February 2026 he returned to Sivasspor on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
For Albania he has 44 caps. In November 2025 he scored twice against Andorra in a World Cup qualifier.
