According to Ruhr Nachrichten, Borussia Dortmund are not currently trying to extend Ramy Bensebaini's contract, which runs until the end of the season. It is also unclear whether Bensebaini himself wants an extension.
Contract situation
Bensebaini has been under contract at Borussia Dortmund since 2023, when he joined from Borussia Mönchengladbach on a free transfer. Since joining Borussia Dortmund, he has made 112 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 11 assists.
Season appearances
Across all competitions, Bensebaini has made six appearances. After missing the start of the season because of a bruised rib, he started the last two Champions League matches and the Bundesliga match.
Coach Niko Kovac prefers Nico Schlotterbeck, Waldemar Anton and Joane Gadou as his centre-back trio, and Bensebaini has often had to settle for a place on the bench this season.
Suspension and cup absence
Bensebaini will miss Borussia Dortmund's upcoming DFB Cup match against SV Werder Bremen. He remains suspended for one more match after receiving a red card in the Super Cup against Bayern Munich.
Ricken's comments
"You can tell with Ramy that he is an experienced player. He didn't play much at the start of the season, then came on and saw the match out confidently. He also made two or three good forward runs and played a big part in us keeping another clean sheet," managing director for sport Lars Ricken said.
