Hajdari first played for local club FC Aesch and moved to Basel's youth academy in 2014. He joined FC Basel's first team directly from their U-18 team for their 2020–21 season under head coach Ciriaco Sforza. Somewhat surprising came the announcement on 19 September that Juventus had bought the rights of the young right back defender Hajdari. But Hajdari stayed with the squad, being loaned back to Basel for two seasons.[1][2]
Hajdari played his professional debut for the club in the away game on 27 September as Basel were defeated 0–1 by Servette. The winning goal was scored from the penalty spot, the penalty was caused as the ball was headed from very close range onto Hajdari's upper right arm.[3] On 15 July 2021, Juventus announced the termination of the loan one year early.[4] However, he did not play any match with the under-19s. On 4 January 2022 he returned to the Swiss club on a six months loan.[5]
Born in Switzerland, Hajdari is of Kosovan descent.[6] Hajdari was called up for the Swiss youth team and joined the Swiss U-18 on 1 July 2020.
