BVB forced to rethink as rival turns down young talent | OneFootball

After an unsuccessful inquiry with a Bundesliga rival, BVB continues to search for a taker for talent Julien Duranville. Werder Bremen and other clubs are also being discussed as possible options.

Borussia Dortmund is working on a loan deal for attacking talent Julien Duranville this winter – but their first attempt within the Bundesliga has failed. According to information from Sky, BVB actively offered the 19-year-old to Borussia Mönchengladbach in recent days. However, the Foals made it clear that signing the injury-prone winger was “not an option” for them.

Duranville, who has rarely featured since his transfer from RSC Anderlecht in January 2023 for around 8.5 million euros, has played hardly any sporting role. Although the Belgian is currently fit, coach Niko Kovac made it clear after Sunday’s 2-0 win over Hoffenheim just how difficult his situation is: “We are at BVB, and at BVB there are really good players. He is one of them, but the others are better.”

Kovac had previously explained how tough the competition has become for the youngster: “The guys who play in his position are doing quite well at the moment,” he said – though he did leave a small door open. “That doesn’t mean he has no chance. But it’s certainly not easy to get into our squad.”

BVB looking for a loan club for jewel Duranville

Since Duranville has neither been in the Bundesliga squad this season nor played regularly for the first team, and has even recently played for the second team, the club and the player have basically agreed on a winter loan.

Another option within the league could be Werder Bremen. According to consistent reports, the northern club is considering the attacking player, although it is unclear how concrete their interest is. Moreover, a loan would currently be difficult, as Bremen already has six loan players in their squad.

A temporary return to his former club Anderlecht is also still considered possible. What is clear: Duranville needs a solution that will finally give him the playing time he has not yet received in Dortmund.
