Yes, there is. Just let your electrum to show you the QR of private key and scan it. But if you are using segwit address (begins with 3) it will not work.


Is there any alternative if I was using a segwit address?

I'm not aware of any. But once I found out I'll update OP.

So if anybody knows feel free to reply here.

Can you explain why it will not work if I used segwit address?

I can't ( don't have required knowledge). Just my amateurish opinion. Segwit is using different address format and some additional coding has to be implemented by wallets (to undestand the address format). But devs obviously not so much hurry in. I can't tell why. maybe it's to much work, maybe they don't believe in segwit. Who knows.
