Club career

Early career

Muçolli was born in Fredericia, Denmark, to ethnic Albanian parents from Podujevo, Kosovo. He began his career with local club Fredericia at age 5.

Vejle Boldklub

A central midfielder, Muçolli made his debut for Vejle Boldklub on 17 November 2016, aged 17, in a match against Næstved BK, playing a total of 80 minutes before being substituted. He started alongside his brother, Agon Muçolli.

Muçolli was injured for parts of the 2017–18 season, appearing in 15 matches and helping Vejle secure promotion to the Danish Superliga.

During the 2018–19 Danish Superliga season, Muçolli was a first-team regular for Vejle. On 25 July 2018, he extended his contract with the club until 2020.

During the 2019–20 Danish 1st Division season, following Vejle's relegation, he helped his side earn promotion again, appearing in 26 matches and winning Player of the Season honours.

IFK Göteborg

On 6 July 2023, Muçolli joined Swedish Allsvenskan club IFK Göteborg on a deal until the end of 2026. He made his competitive debut for the club four days later, replacing Marcus Berg at half-time in a 2–1 league loss to Varbergs BoIS at home at Gamla Ullevi. His first start for Blåvitt occurred the following week, playing 81 minutes before being substituted for Eman Marković in an away draw against IF Elfsborg. On 13 August, he scored his first goal for the side, helping Göteborg to a 2–1 home victory against Djurgårdens IF. He scored his first brace on 3 September against Malmö FF, with his second goal prompting objects to be thrown from the stands, leading to a temporary interruption of the match. Due to his outstanding performances throughout September 2023, including three goals in three appearances, he was awarded the title of Player of the Month for September. In his debut half-season at IFK, Muçolli netted six goals in 17 appearances, aiding the club in narrowly evading relegation, finishing in 13th place.

Muçolli started 2024 strong, scoring two goals in three Svenska Cupen matches.

Albania

Muçolli received Albanian citizenship on 8 February 2018, thus becoming eligible to represent Albania internationally.

Muçolli was called up to the Albania under-21 side for the first time for 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers in September 2018. He made his debut against Spain on 6 September, coming on the field in the 70th minute. He started both the return leg against Spain on 11 October and the next match against Estonia on 16 October.
