BVB youngster Duranville to Werder Bremen? Decision reportedly made | OneFootball

The Borussia Dortmund chapter has not been a pleasant one for Julien Duranville (19). Having joined Dortmund with much acclaim, the young Belgian simply can't get going. Most recently, he has been his own worst enemy.

The winger's medical record is extensive. Despite being only 19 years old, Duranville has already struggled with various muscle injuries. A shoulder joint separation sidelined him for months this year.

In the current Bundesliga season, the youngster hasn't played a single minute. Instead, he has made two appearances for the U23s in the Regionalliga. The two-time senior international recently made negative headlines when, according to Kicker, he showed up late to the final training session before the match at SC Freiburg (1:1). As a result, Duranville was not allowed to travel to Breisgau. Additionally, the winger is said to have often appeared unmotivated during team training in recent weeks.

Much points to a transfer—possibly as early as this winter. Borussia Mönchengladbach, BVB’s opponent this Friday (December 19, 8:30 p.m.), as well as Werder Bremen, are reportedly interested in signing him. Options being discussed include a loan until the end of the season or even a permanent sale of Duranville.

Return to his homeland not ruled out

A move to the Weser, however, is unlikely to happen anytime soon, according to Ruhr Nachrichten. The Hanseatic club is prioritizing the signing of a central striker. Understandably so, as their top scorer is Jens Stage (29), a central midfielder (5 goals). The much-praised Victor Boniface (24) and Keke Topp (21) have yet to score.

Borussia Mönchengladbach apparently remains in the race. Duranville’s hometown club, RSC Anderlecht, is also said to be interested. The coming weeks will show where the 19-year-old will end up.
