Currently playing for Serie A club Lecce, Ramadani has established himself as a key player, known for his tireless work rate and leadership on the field. His journey began in Germany, where he was born, before he ventured into professional football in Kosovo.

Ramadani's senior career kicked off with Ferizaj, followed by stints at Prishtina and Drita.

On the international stage, Ramadani switched his allegiance from Kosovo to Albania in two thousand sixteen. He made his senior debut in two thousand eighteen and has since become a vital member of the Albanian national team. His first international goal came during the Euro twenty twenty qualifiers in a two-nil victory over Moldova. Ramadani played a crucial role in Albania's successful UEFA Euro twenty twenty-four qualifying campaign, helping the team secure a spot in the European Championship for only the second time in history. He was also selected for the final twenty-six man squad for UEFA Euro twenty twenty-four, participating in all three group stage matches.
