At BVB, offensive talent Julien Duranville has not been able to establish himself so far, which is why he was supposed to be loaned out this winter. Initially, it seemed like he might find a new club in the Bundesliga, but now it appears he will move abroad.
As 'Sky Sport' and 'Bild' consistently report, the 19-year-old will join FC Basel for half a year. He is set to board the plane tomorrow, Thursday. According to 'Sky Sport', there will be no purchase option. However, the Swiss club is expected to be involved in any potential resale. More or less a reward if Duranville develops well.
In Dortmund, injuries repeatedly set him back, but ultimately the competition was too strong, as coach Niko Kovač made clear at a press conference: "We are at BVB, and there are really good players at BVB. He is too, but the others are better." In 2023, Borussia had paid Anderlecht 8.5 million euros to acquire Duranville.

The Bundesliga clubs Borussia Mönchengladbach and Werder Bremen were also fundamentally interested in the winger this winter but ultimately backed off. BMG sporting director Rouven Schröder even publicly commented on 'Sky': "No! An interesting player, but not for Borussia." Now he wants to take the next step at Basel instead.
