Ramy Bensebaini set for Borussia Dortmund exit as contract runs down

Algerian international Ramy Bensebaini could leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season, with reports suggesting the German club are not planning to extend his contract.

The 31-year-old defender recently demonstrated his value as a reliable squad player in Dortmund’s 1-0 home victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. However, uncertainty is growing over his long-term future at the club, with his current deal due to expire at the end of the season.

According to Ruhr Nachrichten, Dortmund’s management are not currently pursuing a contract extension, raising the possibility of the Algerian leaving on a free transfer in the summer of 2027.

Dortmund plan defensive generational change

The reported situation is linked to Dortmund’s plans to reshape their defence, with younger players pushing for opportunities in the first team.

The club are expected to gradually hand greater responsibility to emerging talents as they prepare for a generational change in their back line.

Bensebaini’s future also remains uncertain because of questions over whether he would want to continue at Dortmund in a squad-player role.

According to the report, it is unclear whether the Algerian defender is interested in extending his stay under those circumstances.
