In July 2016, Sulejmani joined Polish club Legia Warsaw on a free transfer. After trialing with the club, he signed a four-year contract.[3] However, he spent his time with the reserve side, and never made a first team appearance.

Later that same month, Sulejmani was loaned out to I liga club Pogoń Siedlce. He made his league debut for the club on 13 August 2016 in a 3-0 home loss to Sandecja Nowy Sącz. He was subbed on for Michał Bajdur in the 58th minute. He picked up a yellow card in the 75th minute of that match.[4] Sulejmani would go on to make just four more league appearances during the duration of his loan, coming on as a sub against Górnik Zabrze,[5] Chojniczanka Chojnice,[6] and Miedź Legnica.[7] He made the starting eleven for the first time with Pogoń Siedlce on 27 August 2016 in a 1-0 away defeat to Olimpia Grudziądz.[8]

Partizani Tirana
