Daramy joined Copenhagen from Hvidovre as a U14 player,[3] after reportedly having been linked also to rival Copenhagen side Brøndby.[3] Already at the age of 15, Daramy rose to the title of topscorer of the U17 squad at F.C. Copenhagen, resulting in a three-year contract extension (October 2017 to 2020).[4] With a total 18 goals in 26 games during the 2017–18 season, Daramy became the fifth highest scoring player in that season's U17 league.[5]
At the age of 16 years and 263 days, Daramy became the youngest ever player to score for Copenhagen. The goal came in his official senior level debut for the club in a Danish Cup game against Viby IF.[6] Followed by critical acclaim, numorous high profiled clubs were rumoured of pursuing Daramys signature, with efforts of engaging the young player being led by German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.[7] In spite of the growing interest, FC Copenhagen managed to keep Daramy on at the club, setting a price tag at €5 million as result of the competitor's woes. Amidst the transfer rumours, Daramy aired doubts about his determination of staying on as an FC Copenhagen player,[8] but ultimately decided to stay.
Following ongoing success in the Danish Capital, in March 2019 FC Copenhagen increased efforts to extend a more lucrative contract to Daramy, followed by an increasing offer size of about €5 million from an unknown outside club.[9] Daramy got his Danish Superliga debut on 2 December 2018 against AC Horsens, replacing Dame N'Doye in the 77th minute,[10] and later that season, on 31 March 2019, Daramy scored his first goal in his native Superliga. Due to the absence of regular first choice Robert Skov who was out with an injury, Daramy found himself included in the starting lineup and ultimately became the man of the match, scoring the only goal in the game.[11]
On 3 April 2019, Daramy officially signed his first professional contract with Copenhagen until the end of 2021.[12] Along with the contract extension, he was also permanently promoted to the first team squad.
AFC Ajax
On 22 August 2021, AFC Ajax announced that they had closed a €12 million deal with an add-on bonus of €1 million with Copenhagen for the transfer of Daramy.[13] However, the move to the Dutch side proved difficult, as Daramy struggled to retain a regular position on the first team. On 3 August 2022, Daramy returned to Copenhagen on a season-long loan, once again proving his talent and skill, and earning a vital role as his Danish team claimed the championship of the 2022/2023 Superliga season after a close finishing race with Greater Copenhagen side, FC Nordsjælland.[14]
Reims
On 11 August 2023, Daramy moved to Reims in France on a five-year contract.[15] On 20 August, Daramy came on as a substitute and scored a goal in a 2–0 win against Clermont on his debut.[16]
Daramy has Sierra Leonean nationality, because both his Oku parents are from Sierra Leone.[3] In December 2018, he revealed that he had applied for Danish nationality and would like to play for the Danish national team. He became a Danish citizen in January 2020.[19]
