New transfer rumour: BVB starlet Duranville set for move to Spain? | OneFootball

Julien Duranville continues to be sidelined at Borussia Dortmund and is seeking a change of scenery. A possible loan to Spain could now become a topic of discussion.

At Borussia Dortmund, dissatisfaction is growing around the large squad, and the future of Julien Duranville is also a subject of discussion. The young Belgian is internally considered a candidate for a short-term transfer, with a departure in winter becoming increasingly likely. Now, a new lead points to Spain.

According to information from the Andalusian sports newspaper Estadio Deportivo, FC Sevilla is interested in Duranville. The record Europa League winner is specifically looking for affordable reinforcements for the offensive wings for the second half of the season. Duranville would be available as a loan player. BVB signed the winger in January 2023 for more than eight million euros from Anderlecht, placing great hopes in his development.

However, these hopes have not been fulfilled so far. He has repeatedly been set back by injuries, and recently there have also been internal doubts about his reliability. In the current season, he has not yet made a single professional appearance – neither in the Bundesliga, the Champions League, nor the DFB-Pokal.

Werder Bremen and Gladbach turned down BVB talent Duranville

Bundesliga options have recently fallen through. Both Werder Bremen and Borussia Mönchengladbach, who were temporarily considered interested parties, publicly declined. This increasingly shifts the focus to a move abroad. Besides Duranville, Sevilla is reportedly also considering other names.

Oscar Bobb from Manchester City is considered the preferred solution, while Théo Bongonda from Spartak Moscow is also being discussed. From the Andalusians' perspective, Duranville's development potential speaks in his favor – even though the youngster still largely lacks experience in the senior level. Overall, he has made 27 professional appearances for BVB, and previously had eleven appearances for Anderlecht.

In Dortmund, there seems to be a consensus that Duranville needs a new environment. A sale is not currently the priority; instead, the Black and Yellows favor a loan so that the Belgian national player can gain match practice. Whether FC Sevilla will ultimately become the right destination remains to be seen soon.
