About the player
Seventeen goals in the Kosovo Superleague in 2017/18 made Mirlind Daku the division's top scorer at Llapi. Across roughly 45 appearances for the club he scored 23, and in 2018 Osijek took him to Croatia.
Osijek then sent him out repeatedly. A season at Kukësi brought one goal in 13 matches. At Ballkani he scored 35 goals in 42 appearances. At Mura in Slovenia he scored 20 in 36 PrvaLiga matches and finished as the league's top scorer. Between the loans he made 12 first-team appearances for Osijek, scoring three.
Rubin Kazan signed him in July 2023 on a three-year contract, paying a fee reported between €1.0m and €1.5m. He scored 37 goals in 80 matches there, second only to one player in the club's Russian Premier League history, and reached 20 goal involvements in 33 matches. In 2024/25 he was Rubin's leading scorer with 15.
He switched international allegiance from Kosovo to Albania in 2023 and has 17 caps. He scored against Poland on 10 September 2023, in a 2-0 win. At the finals he came on against Croatia in a 2-2 draw on 19 June 2024, then missed the rest of the group stage: UEFA suspended him for two matches after he led supporters in nationalist chants.
On 6 August 2026 Spartak Moscow triggered the release clause in his Rubin contract. He signed until 30 June 2029.
