In April 2023, Gladbach's sporting director Roland Virkus confirmed that Bensebaïni would depart the club at the end of the 2022–23 campaign, having chosen not to renew his contract.[13][14]
On 5 June 2023, Bensebaïni signed a four-year contract to join Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer.[15] On 12 August 2023, he made his official debut for the club in a 6–1 away win against Schott Mainz in the DFB Pokal.[16]
