Real Betis are considering a move for Borussia Dortmund defender Ramy Bensebaini as they look to strengthen their defence during the next summer transfer window.
According to Radio Sevilla, the Algeria international is one of the players being assessed by Real Betis sporting director Manu Fajardo. The defender’s name has reportedly already been put forward to the Spanish club, where he is said to have received positive feedback from the recruitment department.
Bensebaini’s contract with Borussia Dortmund runs until 30 June 2027, although discussions over a possible extension are not progressing favourably, according to the report. That situation could make the 31-year-old an appealing option for Real Betis as they explore the market.
Despite being valued at 7 million euros by Transfermarkt, Bensebaini could potentially be available to Real Betis without a transfer fee because of his contractual circumstances, the source says.
The defender’s versatility is another factor in his favour. He can operate at left-back or in central defence, giving any potential new club additional flexibility across the back line.
Since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2023, Bensebaini has made 114 appearances for the German club. He also started three of their first four matches in the Champions League this season.
Bensebaini currently earns 4,500,000 euros (2,925,000,000 FCFA) per year in Germany. Real Betis are now among the clubs monitoring his situation as they consider their defensive options.
