Maldin Ymeraj was born in Mallakastër, Albania and his parents emigrated in Greece when Maldin was 2 years old. His name is not coincidentally similar to the icon of Milan, Paolo Maldini.

Ymeraj started his youth career at Panathinaikos F.C. academies at age of 7. He was scorer of U-17 Academy of Panathinaikos as a 15 years old.
During the 2013–14 season on 13 March 2014 Panathinaikos announced that reached an agreement to sign professional contracts with Ymeraj and the fellow young footballers Nestoras Gekas, Stefanos Kotsaris, Dimitris Myrthianos, Marios Tzanoulinos, Vasilis Angelopoulos, Michail Peter Niouman, Paschalis Staikos, Lazaros Lamprou and Dimitris Aggelopoulos.
On 29 January 2015 Ymeraj was loaned until the end of the 2014–15 season to Fostiras F.C. first team to gain experience. He made it his first professional debut on 1 February 2015 by coming on as a 64th-minute substitute in place of Christos Moustogiannis in a goalless draw against Chania.
