After five seasons at Duisburg, Bajramaj moved to league rivals 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam for the 2009–10 season.[5] At her new club, she won the Bundesliga title in 2010 and 2011.

Bajramaj started in all four of the team's matches and scored three goals during the tournament.[8]

She won her first major international title at the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup. She was a reserve player for Germany, appearing in four games, including the tournament's final, in which she won the corner that let to Germany's second goal. One year later, Bajramaj claimed bronze with Germany at the 2008 Summer Olympics. She was brought on after 62 minutes in the third-place play-off and scored both goals in Germany's 2–0 win over Japan. In 2009, Bajramaj won her first European trophy at the 2009 European Championship, where Germany claimed its seventh title. She was also called-up for Germany's 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup squad.[1]
