Amir Kadri Rrahmani (born 24 February 1994) is an Kosovo Albanian professional footballer who plays for Lokomotiva on loan from Dinamo Zagreb in the Croatian First League and the Kosovo national team primarily as a centre-back.
Rrahmani came up through the ranks at Drenica where he made his first team debut in 2011, and after impressing in the Superleague of Kosovo he moved to Albanian Superliga side Partizani Tirana. During his time at Partizani Tirana he became captain of the Albania U21 side and in 2014 he also made his senior international debut. After 66 games and 3 goals in all competitions for Partizani Tirana, Rrahmani transferred to RNK Split in Croatia.
Rrahmani was born in Prishtinë, to Kosovar Albanian parents who were originally from Skënderaj. He began his football career with the youth team of Drenica, where he was promoted to the senior team during the 2011–12 campaign where he immediately began to impress despite being only 17 years old. He went on trial with Albanian Superliga side Kastrioti Krujë in the summer of 2012, where he impressed the coaching staff at Kastrioti Krujë but a deal to sign the player could not be agreed after negotiations stalled over a compensation package which was reported to be in the region of €3,000. He returned to KF Drenica where he became an important first team player as he helped his side finish just above the relegation playoff zone in the Superleague of Kosovo. His contract expired at the end of the 2012–13 season and he was allowed to leave Drenica on a free transfer.
