He was interested in Slavia, he chose Sparta. The champion looks forward to Rrahmani’s debut – Sport.cz

The main reason why the Czech champion bought Rrahmani is obvious: productivity. The 23-year-old Kosovar scores regularly. In Rapid he scored eighteen goals in twenty nine competitive games, before that in Ballkani he scored thirty four times in sixty eight games. “He plays immediately towards the goal,” Nazare fires.

Spartan coach Lars Friis will expand his options at the top of the offensive line, where Victor Olatunji, Indrit Tuci and Jan Kuchta will be on hand, whose position has been shaken up again after the arrival of the Podujevo native.

“Rrahmani is fast, he has a good finish. He is definitely a different type of striker than Olatunji, who is more powerful and I saw in Sparta’s matches with FCSB,” said another Romanian journalist Sergiu Alexandru from Gazeta Sporturilor.

“I would say that I play quickly and that I can make decisions in a second, and those are probably my most important strengths. Quick thinking gives me goals,” Rhahmani describes himself for the club’s website.

It is a question of how he will establish himself in the physically demanding Czech league, where there is no shortage of personal duels. “It will make a big difference for him, because the Romanian league is not as physically demanding as the Czech one. In Romania, however, he showed that he can be stable even in duels and that he is a strong player. But it needs time to change,” Alexandru believes.

It also depends on his health. He suffered an ankle injury at the end of the last calendar year, but quickly returned to action. “It’s weak in a way. He has had injury problems, and I think that could be a problem for him. However, if he stays healthy, he can be an important player,” reveals Alexandru.

Rrahmani was interested. The interest of Slavia is known earlier, Scottish Rangers wanted him, according to Romanian journalists, Benfica Lisbon also investigated the situation. Rapid initially wanted around eight million euros. But Sparta paid much less for it, some sources are working with four million euros (100 million crowns), others with up to five million euros (125 million crowns). In any case, this is the most expensive purchase in the history of Letenské.

“Talks started sometime in May. At first Sparta only offered 2.5 million euros, which Rapid rejected. I think now that the club has assessed that it is a good offer, although they originally wanted a bit more. They were satisfied with Sparta’s offer, they made money from it,” describes Alexandru. Rrahmani came to Rapid from Ballkani a year ago for an amount between 600 and 700 thousand euros.

“I think he chose Sparta because he sees a good opportunity to play in the Champions League. Sparta is a strong team that plays for trophies. I think that decided everything,” said Alexandra judges.

Rrahmani will also meet another man and player Ernal Krasniqi at Letná, they already played together in Kosovo, last season they played side by side for the Bucharest club. “They did well together, Sparta will benefit from that,” Alexandra observes.

The new mission of the “Kosovo Lewa” begins. Sparta is full of expectations.
