Talks already under way: next BVB player set to leave? | OneFootball

After his return to Borussia Dortmund, another move already seems to be on the horizon for Diant Ramaj. The goalkeeper is said to want to leave BVB again.

Diant Ramaj could leave Borussia Dortmund without ever having played a competitive match for BVB. According to information from BILD, the 24-year-old goalkeeper is preparing his departure and is already looking for a new club. Initial talks with potential interested parties are reportedly already underway, even though no concrete offer has been made so far.

The main reason for his desire to move lies in the goalkeeping hierarchy at the Black and Yellows. Gregor Kobel remains the undisputed number one, and a departure by the Swiss keeper is currently considered unlikely. That would once again leave Ramaj with only the role of backup goalkeeper — a prospect he apparently does not want to accept.

Yet the keeper was only signed from Ajax Amsterdam in February 2025 for around five million euros. After that, however, he gained match practice exclusively on loan. He first stood between the posts for FC Copenhagen, and then last season made 31 Bundesliga appearances for 1. FC Heidenheim, where he established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper.

Diant Ramaj wants to leave BVB again

As early as last year, sporting managing director Lars Ricken had explained the signing of the goalkeeper and emphasized that the club had the “responsibility to think strategically.” The background was the possibility of a potential Kobel departure, for which Dortmund wanted to develop a successor within their own ranks at an early stage. However, since Kobel still has his starting spot firmly secured, that plan now appears to have failed.

That is why Ramaj is now working on a move so he can continue playing as a number one. Borussia Dortmund are said to be generally open to a transfer. However, since the goalkeeper is still under contract until 2029, a transfer fee would be required. His current market value is estimated at around seven million euros.

While his future remains open, Ramaj is preparing intensively for the new season. On social media, the goalkeeper recently shared impressions from individual goalkeeping and strength sessions — possibly a sign that he wants to be ready for the next step in his career. Midfield talent Kjell Wätjen could also leave BVB soon and, according to multiple matching reports, is on the verge of a move to Danish club FC Midtjylland.
