Agent denies it: Diant Ramaj won't play for Kosovo | OneFootball

With 1. FC Heidenheim, Diant Ramaj will likely have to fight against relegation until the end. A change in the form of international games would probably be welcome for the goalkeeper, who is on loan from Borussia Dortmund to the Ostalb. This matched a report from the weekend, according to which Ramaj is supposed to be on the verge of making his debut for the national team of Kosovo – a claim that has now been denied by his agent Jürgen Schwab.

After sports journalist Ylber Kelmendi reported that Ramaj was to be called up by Kosovo's national coach Franco Foda for the games in November, Ramaj's agent Schwab provided a clear response via "Bild": "The reports are definitely false. The interest from Kosovo is known and pleases Diant, but he has made it clear: He will not play for Kosovo, it's not an issue for him."

Is Ramaj aiming for the DFB goal?

Schwab's words suggest that this is a fundamental decision and not just a current one for Ramaj, who was born in Stuttgart. The fact that with victories in Slovenia (15.11.) and against Switzerland (18.11.), direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup could still be achieved, apparently does not change the stance of the 24-year-old goalkeeper.

It's possible that Ramaj, who has played ten times for the DFB from the U18 to the U20 level, is still hoping for a chance in the German national team. Continued good performances in Heidenheim and then in the medium term also in Dortmund could indeed open the door for him, as the competition for the German goal does not seem overwhelming in the coming years.
