Gjergji Muzaka (born 26 September 1984 in Tiranë) is an Albanian footballer who plays for Skënderbeu Korçë in the Albanian Superliga as a midfielder. He has been a member of the Albanian national team between 2008 and 2012, and has earned 21 senior international caps.
Muzaka began his playing career with local side Partizani Tirana when he was just a teenager. He played for the Partizani U17s where he attracted the interest of several foreign clubs with his performances on the right hand side of midfield. One of these foreign clubs was French giants Paris Saint-Germain, who in 2000 offered Muzaka a contract at the club. Muzaka accepted and left Partizani at the age of just 16, joining the PSG youth team. However, after just one year in France, Muzaka moved back to Albania and back to Partizani before the beginning of the 2001–02 season.
After returning to Albania Muzaka was placed into the Partizani first team.
The president of Tirana, Refik Halili paid a total of €70,000 to buy the player from their fierce rivals Partizani in the summer of 2008.
Muzaka signed a three-year contract with the 2009–10 champions Dinamo Tirana on 16 June 2010. The transfer was managed by the FIFA licensed agent Elton Marini, of 'M&M Management Agency'. The contact is worth a total of €210,000, with Muzaka earning €70,000 a season with Dinamo.
In January 2011 Muzaka joined a half-season loan at Skënderbeu Korçë.
In August 2013, Muzaka joined Skënderbeu on a free transfer, returning in Korçë after one season abstence.
After becoming a free agent following the expiration of his one-year contract with Skënderbeu Korçë, Muzaka re-joined Flamurtari Vlorë, where had played between 2012 and 2013. He officially signed a two-year contract with Flamurtari on 10 June 2014. However, he left the club in January 2015 after a massive exodus, terminating his contract by mutual consent.
