Born on 16 April 1995, Algerian defender Ramy Bensebaini primarily serves as a left back for Borussia Dortmund. Standing at 6ft 1in (1.86m) tall, and weighing 11st 11lb (75kg), Bensebaini dons the number 5 jersey for the club. His football prowess isn't just limited to club duty, as Bensebaini also represents his homeland on the international stage with the Algerian national team.
As of now Transfermarkt values Bensebaini's market value at approximately £6m. His current contractual obligation to Borussia Dortmund is set to run until 30 June 2027, giving him an unbroken run of almost 3 years with the club.
Bensebaini's career has taken him on a journey around the world, starting from Ligue Professionnelle 1 in Algeria where he played for Paradou. From there he transferred to Lierse SK in the Belgium Derde Klasse on a loan deal in July 2014. In the 2014-2015 season, he secured 20 first team appearances in league matches for Lierse SK.
In July 2015, Bensebaini moved on another loan deal, this time to Montpellier in the Ligue 1 in France. His stint during the 2015-2016 season saw him making 22 first team appearances and scoring two goals in league matches.
Breaking from his loan spell, in July 2016 he transferred from Paradou to Rennes, another Ligue 1 team in France, for a fee of approximately £1.7m. During his seasons from 2016 to 2019 at Rennes, Bensebaini made a significant number of first team appearances, and even managed to score one goal in the process.
In August 2019, Bensebaini transferred from Rennes to Borussia Monchengladbach, a Bundesliga team in Germany, for an estimated fee of £7.2m. Throughout his tenure from 2019 to 2023, he racked up a considerable number of first team appearances and scored a total of 19 goals.
Finally, in July 2023, Bensebaini moved from Borussia Monchengladbach to his current home at Borussia Dortmund, still within the Bundesliga in Germany. His performance over the past two years has resulted in a notable number of first team appearances in league matches, and his current season still holds potential.
In addition to his club appearances, Bensebaini has also chalked up a number of starts and substitutions in various international tournaments, including the Champions League and the 2024 - 2026 World Cup Qualifiers for Africa representing Algeria.
