Solution in sight? FC Basel eyeing up Julien Duranville | OneFootball

With Pascal Groß (Brighton & Hove Albion) and Cole Campbell, who has initially only been loaned out to TSG Hoffenheim, Borussia Dortmund has let go of two players so far in the current winter transfer window. Further departures could follow. In addition to Almugera Kabar, who is being linked with VfL Wolfsburg and especially Hamburger SV, Julien Duranville remains a hot transfer candidate—for whom a solution may now have been found.

According to information from Sky, FC Basel would like to loan Duranville until the end of the season. Talks between the two clubs are ongoing. A decision is still pending due to other interested parties, but the Swiss top club seems to have good chances. This is also because Duranville himself is said to be pushing for the move.

BVB plans loan without purchase option

Coach Niko Kovac has recently made no secret of the fact that several players are ahead of Duranville in the internal hierarchy, and has more or less openly recommended a change to the Belgian, who did not make any appearances for the BVB first team in the first half of the season: “It’s not easy for him. Young players need playing time.”

Basically, however, Dortmund has not lost faith in Duranville’s abilities and, above all, his potential. Therefore, BVB only wants to loan out the fast and skillful offensive player without a purchase option. Basel would apparently agree to this, so the loan could take shape fairly soon.
