Nikolas Marcel Cristiano Muci (born 8 February 2003) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a forward for Grasshopper Club Zürich in the Swiss Super League.
Muci made his professional debut with Lugano in a 2–1 Swiss Super League win over FC Luzern on 21 May 2021.[1] On 1 June 2021, he signed a four-year contract with Lugano until 2025.[2]
On 23 June 2022, Muci moved on a two-year loan to Wil.[3] During his time at Wil, he established himself as an important player, making 72 appearances and scoring 20 goals in his two year loan spell.
On 28 June 2024, he signed for Swiss Super League record champions Grasshopper Club Zürich on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[4] In the first game of the season, on 20 July 2024, he was nominated in the starting lineup, against his former club Lugano, no less.[5] On 27 July 2024, he scored the 1–1 equalizer against FC Luzern, in a match that would eventually end 2–2.[6] It was his first goal for Grasshoppers and his first ever goal in the Swiss top flight, in only his second start for his new team and third overall in the Super League. As a result, he was voted by the fans as the best Grasshopper player of July 2024.[7]
He is a youth international for Switzerland, having represented the Switzerland U16, U17,[8] U20, and U21. He scored two goals in the U21's U21 Euro qualification campaign.
