At the time of his debut he was the youngest player ever with an appearance for Maribor in a 1. SNL match, a record which lasted until 25 March 2012.[4]
On 3 April 2011, Krajnc signed a pre-contract with Italian Serie A club Genoa.[5] The transfer fee paid by Genoa was undisclosed, but was reported to be close to €1 million. He joined his new club on 1 July 2011.[6][7] He began his career at Genoa with their Primavera side which he also captained, before making a debut for the main squad on 27 October 2012 at San Siro in a league match against AC Milan.[8] With 18 years, one month and 14 days he became the youngest Slovenian player ever with an appearances in the Italian top division, Serie A.[7]

On 31 August 2016, Krajnc joined Sampdoria on a season-long loan.[11] In the second part of the 2016–17 season, he was loaned to Frosinone.[12]
On 20 June 2018, Frosinone turned Krajnc's loan into a permanent deal for undisclosed fee.[13]
In September 2020, he joined Fortuna Düsseldorf on a season-long loan.[14]
On 24 August 2021, Krajnc joined Hannover 96 on a three-year contract.[15]

Krajnc, who is left footed, primarily plays in central defence and is praised for his pace, strength, passing and ability on the ball.[19]
