Another departure looming: Two clubs chasing BVB starlet | OneFootball

Julien Duranville is facing a possible temporary departure from Borussia Dortmund. Two clubs are showing concrete interest, while BVB continues to work on its squad during the winter.

Another departure appears to be looming for Borussia Dortmund in the winter transfer window. After Pascal Groß’s completed move to Brighton & Hove Albion and the almost finalized departure of Cole Campbell to TSG Hoffenheim, Julien Duranville is now coming into focus.

According to Sky, the 19-year-old Belgian is facing a possible loan move as early as January. Two clubs are said to be making concrete efforts to sign the attacking player, but a final agreement has not yet been reached. The names of the interested parties are still unknown. What is clear, however, is that BVB does not want to let Duranville go permanently if possible.

The training camp in Marbella sent a clear signal. While almost all the professionals fully participated in team training despite pouring rain, Duranville only took part in parts of the session. During intensive drills such as a 7-vs-7 pressing exercise, the winger was left out and instead trained separately with an assistant coach. Internally, according to Sky, the club says Duranville was deliberately rested to minimize the risk of injury—especially in light of ongoing transfer talks.

BVB talents Duranville and Campbell on the verge of leaving

The young Belgian has recently struggled on the sporting front. Under coach Niko Kovac, he currently plays no role. Since his transfer from Anderlecht around three years ago for about eight and a half million euros, Duranville has made only 15 Bundesliga appearances and has yet to register a goal or assist.

At the same time, Campbell’s departure is also imminent. The American has already left Marbella early. Reportedly, it is a loan deal with a purchase option. Around 1.5 million euros are due for half a year, and if the move becomes permanent, BVB could receive a total of nearly ten million euros. The negotiations were conducted by sporting director Sebastian Kehl and Hoffenheim’s managing director Andreas Schicker.

If both Campbell and Duranville leave the club, Dortmund would be deliberately freeing up squad spots. One reason is the interest in Oscar Bobb from Manchester City, who remains a topic as a loan player with a purchase option. One thing is clear: BVB’s transfer activities are far from over.
