Ramy Bensebaini

Ramy Bensebaini of Borussia Dortmund was born in Constantine, Algeria on 16 April 1995 (age 31).

Ramy Bensebaini, born on 16 April 1995 (age 31), is an Algeria international left-back with Borussia Dortmund. His early senior years included loan football, the sort of practical education that tends to matter more for defenders than any neat development plan on paper.

He later built his name in Germany with Borussia Monchengladbach, where his most productive league season came in 2022-2023: six goals in 28 appearances. For a left-back, that return was useful rather than cosmetic, and it helped underline his value as more than a purely defensive full-back.

Bensebaini moved on to Borussia Dortmund and remains a regular first-team presence in 2025-2026. He has made 34 appearances for Dortmund across all competitions this season, scoring seven goals, including 21 Bundesliga appearances and nine in the Champions League. His current market value is around £6m, according to Transfermarkt.

He has also continued to feature for Algeria, including World Cup qualifying appearances. His career has settled into a clear shape: a defender developed through early loan experience, established in the Bundesliga, and still active at a serious level for club and country.

Bensebaini played 21 Bundesliga matches for Borussia Dortmund in 2025–26, starting 15 and coming on six times. Five goals was a strong return for a left back and made him more than a defensive selection, while six yellow cards underlined the physical edge in his role. He was also used heavily outside the league, adding nine Champions League appearances with two goals and five Club World Cup appearances.

Bensebaini's path ran from Paradou through loans at Lierse SK and Montpellier before permanent moves to Rennes, Borussia Monchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund. The sequence pointed to steady advancement: two loans were followed by a €1.7m Rennes transfer, then a €7.2m move to Monchengladbach and a later free transfer to Dortmund. His scoring output remained notable for a left back, with five goals in 2019–20, six in 2022–23 and five again in 2025–26.
