Ramaj set for exit? Top club chasing BVB keeper | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund could lose a promising goalkeeper talent this summer. Arsenal is reportedly showing great interest in Diant Ramaj and is closely monitoring his development.

The impressive development of Diant Ramaj is increasingly attracting international attention – now also from FC Arsenal. According to RTL/ntv and sport.de, the London club has sent scouts to Germany several times to observe the 24-year-old closely. His strong season at 1. FC Heidenheim, in particular, makes the keeper interesting for the Premier League leaders.

Ramaj, who came up through Heidenheim’s youth system and later made his way to Borussia Dortmund via Eintracht Frankfurt and Ajax Amsterdam, returned to his training club on loan this season. There, he immediately established himself as the clear number one after his arrival, overtaking club icon Kevin Müller without any transition period. Even during a phase when Heidenheim was at the bottom of the table, coach Frank Schmidt and managing director Holger Sanwald continued to place their full trust in him – a testament to their confidence in his abilities.

His style of play is considered modern and daring: Ramaj acts as a sweeper-keeper, likes to initiate attacks with direct passes, and deliberately bypasses several teammates to find the better-positioned passing option.

These very qualities are said to make him attractive to Arsenal – especially since David Raya, although the first choice in Mikel Arteta’s team, is prone to occasional mistakes. Ramaj’s profile would fit perfectly with the Gunners’ possession and build-up philosophy.

At BVB, however, his future is anything but clear. Although Dortmund welcomes his progress, his prospects depend largely on Gregor Kobel. If the Swiss first-choice goalkeeper stays beyond the season, Ramaj would once again be only the number two – a status the former German youth international does not want to accept in the long term. His contract in Dortmund runs until 2029, but a transfer could become an issue in the summer if the goalkeeper hierarchy remains unchanged.

Ramaj will initially return after his loan expires. However, given the growing interest from England, the summer of 2026 could be decisive for his career – possibly with a move to a top English club.
