U23 clear-out continues – Ben Hüning set for move to Essen | OneFootball

In recent days, three players from Borussia Dortmund's second team have left: Jordi Paulina (Fortuna Düsseldorf), Antonio Foti (SC Verl), and David Lelle (Aris Limassol). However, it seems the exodus from BVB U23 is not yet over. Another key player, Ben Hüning, is now poised for the next step in his career.

According to WAZ, Hüning will leave BVB after a year and a half and move to Rot-Weiss Essen in the 3rd division. For the 21-year-old central defender, the move to Hafenstraße signifies a return to the past, as Hüning already played for RWE in the 2022/23 season during his last A-Junior year after his training at MSV Duisburg.

Hüning to Join RWE in Training Camp

According to "WAZ," Hüning's transfer, who has shown remarkable offensive qualities with five goals in 18 games in the Regionalliga West this season, is expected to happen soon. The plan is for Hüning to be part of the team when Essen departs for their training camp in Turkey on Monday.

Half a year before the end of his contract with BVB, Hüning is reportedly being released for a transfer fee in the mid-five-figure range. Whether the transfer includes additional clauses is not yet known. However, it is quite possible that the official announcement will come on Sunday.
