BVB star pushes for exit: he wants “out as soon as possible” | OneFootball

A Borussia Dortmund professional is apparently pushing for a departure. The 24-year-old seemingly no longer has any sporting prospects at BVB.

Diant Ramaj and Borussia Dortmund are likely to part ways very soon. According to Ruhr Nachrichten, the goalkeeper no longer features in the Black and Yellows’ plans and is himself aiming for a swift exit. Only at the start of 2025, BVB had paid around five million euros to Ajax Amsterdam to secure the keeper’s services.

Ramaj then gained match practice on loan, first at FC Copenhagen and then at 1. FC Heidenheim. Even so, there no longer seems to be any real prospect for the 24-year-old in Dortmund. Those in charge, led by head coach Niko Kovac and sporting director Ole Book, apparently continue to back Gregor Kobel as the clear number one.

Behind him, Alexander Meyer is trusted as the backup goalkeeper. That would leave Ramaj with only the role of third-choice keeper — a scenario neither the club nor the player want in the long term. A clear sign came in the first pre-season friendly against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen (3-1). While Kobel’s deputies Meyer and Patrick Drewes each played one half, Ramaj was not even included in the squad. The reason is said to be that Dortmund did not want to take any injury risk that could jeopardize a possible transfer.

Diant Ramaj pushes for BVB exit

According to Ruhr Nachrichten, the goalkeeper himself is pushing for a move and even wants to leave the club “as quickly as possible.” However, the search for a new club has so far proved difficult. Borussia Dortmund apparently have no concrete offers at present, although initial talks with potential interested parties are said to have already taken place.

Ramaj had already made it clear shortly after his move that he would not be satisfied with a backup role. At the time, he said confidently: “I have to play. So one thing is clear to me: I’m not going to sit on the bench in Dortmund.”

That stance apparently has not changed. Since Gregor Kobel currently shows no signs of leaving BVB, Ramaj’s chances of getting playing time are minimal. Although his contract still runs until 2029, all signs currently point to a departure this summer.
