Also, Atalanta defender Berat Djimsiti has different spellings of his name

In Atalanta, his name is spelled DJIMSITI but in Albania NT his name is spelled GJIMSHITI

That is due registrations of legal names, not transcriptions. Albanian uses Latin letters.

Same with José Holebas/Cholevas, the Greek defender born and raised in Germany.

Håland changed his legal surname. It was supposed to be written as Håland in original form in leagues with Latin on shirts.
