Early life
Durmisi was born as a third generation Dane to an Albanian family from Ishøj, part of the Copenhagen suburbs.
2012–13 season
Durmisi made his Brøndby debut in a 1–1 home draw against Esbjerg fB on 26 August 2012. He made four total substitute appearances during the season.
2013–14 season
On 24 June 2013, Durmisi signed a three-year contract tying him to the club until summer 2016. Durmisi was promoted to the first team and issued shirt number 17. He became a frequent starter, first as a left winger and later as a left wing-back. On 10 November, he scored his first goal from his position as left wing-back in the 3–0 home victory against AGF. He attracted the attention from foreign scouts, including French Ligue 1 club Toulouse and Turkish giants Fenerbahçe, after scoring 3 goals in 33 matches that season.
2014–15 season
On 31 July 2014, Durmisi made his UEFA Europa League debut, starting in the 3–0 away defeat against Belgian side Club Brugge.
Durmisi revealed during the 2014–15 Christmas break that he was approached by the Football Federation of Macedonia to represent Macedonia internationally, due to his Macedonian roots. However, he said at the same time that representing Denmark was his first priority, should its then-head coach, Morten Olsen, offer him a call-up. In response, Olsen said Durmisi should focus on proving his worth on the pitch rather than in the press, yet nonetheless acknowledged Durmisi was being considered for a call-up. During the winter break in January, Durmisi revealed his ambition was to move to either the Dutch Eredivisie or the German Bundesliga.
2015–16 season
On 2 October 2015, after months of negotiations and after replacing his agent Sedat Duraki, Durmisi signed a contract extension which tied him to the club until the summer 2018. The contract reportedly included a €2 million buyout clause, and was finalized by Durmisi's new agent, Nikalo Jurić. At the end of 2015, Durmisi rewarded for his impressive performance and a great year by winning the 2015 Brøndby IF Player of the Year award ahead of such players as Daniel Agger and Thomas Kahlenberg. By the end of March, Durmisi revealed he was receiving significant attention from clubs all across Europe, also stating his expectation that the 2015–16 would be his last for Brøndby. He also added his overall objective is to eventually play for Real Madrid.
2016–17 season
On 28 May 2016, Durmisi signed a five-year contract with La Liga club Real Betis after weeks of media rumours. Betis activated Durmisi's €2 million buyout clause with Brøndby, then replaced it with a €20 million buyout clause on a contract tying Durmisi to Betis until summer 2021. He made his debut for the club on 20 August, starting in a 2–6 away loss against Barcelona.
International career
On 8 June 2015, Durmisi made his senior international debut for Denmark in a 2–1 home friendly win against Montenegro at the Viborg Stadion, as a 72nd-minute substitute for Simon Poulsen. Durmisi played the final seven matches in Morten Olsen's lengthy tenure as national team head coach.
On 1 March 2016, after Åge Hareide replaced Olsen, Hareide called-up Durmisi for his first two matches in charge, against Iceland and Scotland on 24 and 29 March respectively. He started and played the full 90 minutes in both matches as a left wing-back in Hareide's 3–5–2 formation.
