FC Copenhagen are in negotiations with Borussia Dortmund to re-sign goalkeeper Diant Ramaj on loan with an option to buy. The 24-year-old, who spent the second half of the 2024/25 season in Denmark, is eager to return to the Superliga club.
The talks come at a crucial time for Copenhagen, with current first-choice goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski having informed the club of his desire to leave. Ramaj would likely step directly into the starting role should the deal be completed.
Outside Dortmund plans
Ramaj’s potential departure from Germany appears inevitable after he was excluded from Dortmund’s pre-season tour of Asia. The club have made clear he is not part of their plans for the upcoming campaign, despite holding a contract that runs until 2029.
With limited prospects for first-team football at Signal Iduna Park, a temporary move abroad offers the German goalkeeper the prospect of regular playing time.
Familiar territory
A return to Copenhagen would see Ramaj reunite with a club where he spent the latter half of last season. His previous loan spell provides existing familiarity with the squad and the demands of Danish football.
The proposed structure—a loan with a purchase option—allows Copenhagen to evaluate Ramaj’s form before committing to a permanent transfer. With Kotarski seeking an exit, securing a replacement has become a priority.
Discussions are ongoing, though no formal agreement has been announced. Ramaj’s enthusiasm for the move and Dortmund’s willingness to facilitate his departure suggest a resolution could emerge before the transfer window closes.
