Diant Ramaj (born 19 September 2001) is a German-Kosovan professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Danish Superliga club Copenhagen, on loan from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.

Club career

Early career and 1. FC Heidenheim

Ramaj played for Stuttgart clubs as SpVgg Cannstatt, VfB Stuttgart and Stuttgarter Kickers in his youth before moving to 1. FC Heidenheim in 2018. On 21 April 2019, he was named as a senior team substitute for the first time in a league match against St. Pauli. Three months later, Ramaj was officially promoted to the senior team and was the third goalkeeper behind Kevin Müller and Vitus Eicher.

Eintracht Frankfurt

On 10 May 2021, Ramaj signed his first professional contract with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt after agreeing to a three-year deal. On 8 August 2021, he was named as an Eintracht Frankfurt substitute for the first time in a DFB-Pokal first round match against Waldhof Mannheim. His debut with Eintracht Frankfurt came on 16 January 2022 in a 1–1 away draw against Augsburg after being named in the starting line-up.

Ajax

On 3 August 2023, Ramaj signed a five-year contract with Dutch club Ajax. He made his debut playing for the reserves team Jong Ajax in the Eerste Divisie on 25 September 2023 in a 1–1 draw against FC Eindhoven.

Borussia Dortmund

On 3 February 2025, on transfer deadline day, it was confirmed that Ramaj joined Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund on a deal until June 2029.

Loan to Copenhagen

Furthermore, he was immediately loaned to Danish Superliga club F.C. Copenhagen until the end of the season.

Loan to Heidenheim

On 28 July 2025, Ramaj was loaned by 1. FC Heidenheim.

Second loan to Copenhagen

On 17 August 2026, Ramaj rejoined Copenhagen on a season-long loan with an option to buy for €5 million.

International career

Since 2018, Ramaj is a former German youth international, having represented the U18, U19 and U20 teams, between 2018 and 2021.

On 25 October 2025, he, along with teammate Arijon Ibrahimović, met with the president of the Football Federation of Kosovo, Agim Ademi, after their Bundesliga match with 1. FC Heidenheim against TSG Hoffenheim, which was seen as a possible indication of both Ramaj and Ibrahimović's interest in representing Kosovo at the senior international level.

Personal life

Ramaj was born in Stuttgart, Germany to Kosovo Albanian parents from Gjakova. His older brother, Dijon Ramaj was also a professional footballer who played as a winger before retiring in 2021.
