A graduate of the club's youth academy, Kamberi began his senior career with hometown club FC Zürich in 2019, signing a three-year senior contract with the club.[2] After several loan spells, Kamberi made his competitive debut for the club on 25 April 2021, coming on as an 84th-minute substitute for Nathan Cardoso in a 3–1 defeat to Luzern.[3]

In July 2019, Kamberi was loaned to Swiss Challenge League club FC Wil for the 2019–20 season.[4] He made his league debut for the club just days after the transfer's completion, playing the entirety of a 1–0 victory over Chiasso on 20 July.[5] Kamberi would make 34 appearances in all competitions before returning to Zürich in August 2020.

Prior to the 2020–21 campaign, Kamberi was loaned out once again, joining FC Winterthur.[6] He made his competitive debut for the club on 12 September 2020 in a 2–1 victory over Tuggen in the Swiss Cup.[7] Later that season, he scored his first professional goal, scoring the first in a 3–2 league victory over his former club, Wil.[8] In March, after a series of injuries at Zürich, Kamberi was recalled from his loan, having made 28 appearances in all competitions with Winterthur.[9] [10]
