He was considered the best left-back in the Bundesliga. But since he started playing for Borussia Dortmund, there hasn’t been much of it left. Ramy Bensebaini experienced an almost memorable crash at BVB.
First criticized, then replaced. Meanwhile, Terzic only brings the ex-Gladbach player to take time off the clock. The end of the downturn? Not yet in sight. There are currently many indications that Borussia Dortmund is pulling the ripcord after just one year.
BVB star Bensebaini: From royal transfer to flop
He was the first transfer for the new season – and should be a royal transfer. A year later it is clear: replacing Raphael Guerreiro with Ramy Bensebaini was not profitable. In Gladbach, coach Daniel Farke once praised him as the best left-back in the league. BVB didn’t hesitate for long and struck as soon as the Algerian was available on a free transfer. However, the move to Dortmund did not become the next step in his career. On the contrary.

The grace period for Bensebaini lasted a full six months. Maybe not entirely voluntary. The BVB bosses were so sure about this commitment that they completely forewent alternatives. Guerreiro was let go, top talent Tom Rothe was loaned to Kiel, and the contract with flop Nico Schulz was terminated. But after an anything but convincing first half of the season, patience was at an end.
BVB star only on the bench
While the Algerian traveled to the Africa Cup of Nations (and was eliminated early), Sebastian Kehl expanded in his position, loaning Ian Maatsen from Chelsea. The Dutchman made an impact right away and has been a regular ever since – and Bensebaini has been completely left out. Six minutes was his longest appearance in the last eight games. The 28-year-old only comes on as a substitute to keep the lead over time. At best. Three times he completely stewed on the bench. At one point he didn’t even make it into the squad.
More news:
While BVB is counting its money to sign Maatsen after his loan ends, Bensebaini has bleak prospects in Dortmund. After the brutal crash of the former transfer coup, it is currently quite unlikely that he will get his regular place back in the summer. Even if Maatsen is not permanently signed. BVB would rather add something else in the left-back position – be it with the returnee Tom Rothe or an external newcomer.
