Diant Ramaj returns to F.C. Copenhagen
F.C. Copenhagen, Borussia Dortmund and Diant Ramaj have agreed on a loan deal for the 2026/2027 season. The agreement also includes an option to buy the German goalkeeper.
F.C. Copenhagen fans can look forward to seeing a familiar face in goal as Ramaj returns to the Danish capital and Parken.
Ramaj, 24, played for F.C. Copenhagen in the spring half of the 2024/25 season, where he kept 10 clean sheets in 19 matches and played a crucial role in F.C. Copenhagen winning the league and cup double.
Then – as now – F.C. Copenhagen are loaning the composed goalkeeper from Borussia Dortmund, who had previously loaned Ramaj to 1. FC Heidenheim last term.
Speakman: A well-known goalkeeper with top qualities
F.C. Copenhagen's Director of Football, Kristjaan Speakman, is delighted with the deal, which strengthens the squad’s goalkeeper position.
"We know Diant very well and are delighted to welcome him back to Copenhagen,” says Speakman.
"He is a very driven guy, team focused with a strong performance mindset which is important for our group. On the pitch, he has some outstanding attributes for his position and he returns with more varied experience, which means he can have an even greater impact for us this season.”
Svensson: Fits perfectly into our style of play
Ramaj has already proven his worth for F.C. Copenhagen, and head coach Bo Svensson is also looking forward to having the strong German keeper at his disposal.
"Diant has very valuable core competencies that fit perfectly with the way we want to approach things. He has composure on the ball and an ability to contribute to build-up play, which gives us an extra dimension,” says Svensson.
"At the same time, he has a strong presence, brings calm to the defensive line, and arrives with a strong winning mentality. He knows the club, the squad, and the style of play inside out, so he will be able to step right in and deliver quality quickly.
"I am very happy that he is back in Copenhagen.”
Ramaj: Feels really good to be back
For Ramaj, it is a joyful reunion with the club and the city, which he left a little over a year ago to return to Germany. Now he is looking forward to playing for the Lions again.
"I am really happy that the agreement is in place, and I look forward to joining the lads again,” he says.
"I have already had a fantastic time here, and I am eager to build on that. It feels completely right to be at F.C. Copenhagen, and I have really missed the special atmosphere around matchdays in Parken.
"The club and the mentality suit me perfectly, because I step onto the pitch to win every single time, and that's what drives me.
"My previous spell in Copenhagen was very positive, but that's in the past now. Now it's about delivering every single day on the training pitch and helping the team toward new victories."
Ramaj will wear the number 41 jersey, though this may change once the transfer window closes.
