Julien Duranville set for move, transfer to FC Basel imminent | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is on the verge of announcing a third departure during the winter transfer window, which runs until February 2, following Pascal Groß (Brighton & Hove Albion) and Cole Campbell, who was loaned to TSG Hoffenheim. As hinted at in recent days, Julien Duranville is set for at least a temporary move to Switzerland.

According to Sky reporter Patrick Berger, BVB and FC Basel have agreed on a loan deal for the Belgian attacking player. The loan is limited until the end of the season and does not include a purchase option. However, Basel would participate in any transfer fee should Duranville be sold to a third club in the summer or at a later date. According to Berger, Basel’s share would not be insignificant. Details on this, however, are not yet known.

Flight to Switzerland on Thursday

Duranville’s flight to Switzerland is booked for tomorrow, Thursday. The mandatory medical check and contract signing are expected to follow immediately, so an official announcement can be expected soon.

Duranville, who has yet to make an appearance for BVB’s first team this season and has only played twice for the U23s in the Regionalliga West, is hoping for a fresh start in Switzerland in consultation with his new advisor Victor Sodeinde – and ideally, to finally be able to regularly showcase his great potential.
