Julien Duranville is set to move from Borussia Dortmund to Lyon, with an agreement in principle in place and club-to-club talks continuing, Sky Germany reports.

The 20-year-old Belgian has agreed to the switch and is keen to join, with Lyon convinced by his potential.

If all goes to plan, Dortmund expect to recoup the €8.5 million they paid in 2023, though not the full €13 million package.

Dortmund are pushing for either a significant sell-on clause or a buy-back option, with a sell-on viewed as more realistic by the report.

Since arriving from Anderlecht, Duranville has managed one goal and one assist in 27 appearances across all competitions.

He could be a direct replacement for Lyon's Afonso Moreira, who is linked with Bayer Leverkusen.
