Elvi Berisha (born 2 March 1999) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a wide midfielder for Bylis.
Berisha started his youth career aged 12 with FK Fieri under-13. After spending one season there, he moved at fellow Fieri club KF Apolonia Fier under-15. During the 2014 Summer window transfers, Berisha signed with KF Tirana. [1]
On 20 June 2016 Berisha had a trial by Roma in a Serie D club. [2] [3]
On 12 August 2017, Berisha started a trial at Spanish side CD Leganés. In his first trial game with the reserves he scored twice against Guadalajara in a 4–2 win, where he wore the shirt number 7. [4] Following that, the club was convinced to sign him three days later. [5] Berisha agreed a four-year contract joining on a free transfer since he had no professional contract with Tirana. Tirana were, however, entitled to €90,000 due to FIFA's rules that the club where a player was raised earns €30,000 for each year the player was part of the club. [6]
Berisha was subsequently assigned to the B-team in the regional leagues. On 12 November 2017, he scored a hat-trick for the side in a 5–2 home routing of CDV Rayo Serranillos. [7]
Berisha was called up by Albania national under-17 football team coach Džemal Mustedanagić to participate in the 2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualification where Albania U17 was placed in Group 9. [8] He made his debut on 8 October 2014 in the opening match against Norway coming on as a second-half substitute in the 47th minute in place of Gezim Pepsi in an eventual 3–0 defeat. [9] He played also as a second-half substitute in the closing match against San Marino U17 on 13 October replacing Rubin Hebaj in the 60th minute and managed to score a goal in the 74th minute to sign the 5–1 victory. [10]
Berisha was re-called at Albania under-17 by coach Džemal Mustedanagić to participate in the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualification from 22 to 27 October 2015. [11] He played 1 match as a starter against Netherlands U17 on 24 October and was substituted off in the half-time for Arlind Demaj. [12]
He was called up at Albania national under-19 football team by coach Arjan Bellaj to participate in the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification from 6–11 October 2016. [13] He was an unused substitute in the opening match against Republic of Ireland U19 and played two full 90-minutes matches against Germany U19 in 3–2 loss and against Gibraltar U19 in a 1–0 victory. [14]
Berisha was re-called at Albania under-19 by new coach Erjon Bogdani for a gathering in Durrës, Albania in April 2017 where they also played two friendly matches. [15]
