Berat Djimsiti

Berat Djimsiti of Al-Diriyah was born in Zürich, Switzerland on 19 February 1993 (age 33).

Berat Djimsiti, born on 19 February 1993 (age 33), is an Albanian central defender now with Al-Diriyah. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m) presence, he first built a proper senior platform at FC Zurich, where his 2014-2015 league season brought 33 appearances and two goals.

His career, though, is shaped far more by Atalanta than by any early stop. Across nine seasons with the Bergamo club, Djimsiti made 254 league appearances and scored five league goals. That is the body of work: steady, durable, and central to a long spell at a club where defenders are not generally carried for sentimental reasons.

By 2026-2027, Djimsiti was with Al-Diriyah, making one Pro League appearance. His current market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt. His career has moved from Zurich development to a substantial Atalanta stretch, before this later chapter in Saudi football.
