News reports, most notably from the Ruhr News newspaper, indicate that the circle around player Julian Duranville is seriously considering the possibility of loaning him out during the upcoming winter transfer window.

This consideration serves the interests of all parties involved due to the limited playing time the player receives under head coach Niko Kovac.

 

Duranville (19 years old) is a promising Belgian talent, but his career at Borussia Dortmund since joining in January 2023 has been marked by repeated injuries that have significantly hindered his development.

Given the strong competition in the first team and his recent return from a shoulder injury, the player is struggling to secure regular playing time. Currently, he is playing with the reserve team (under 23) to regain his physical fitness and match sharpness.

The potential loan aims to give him the opportunity to play regularly at another club, possibly in a slightly weaker league such as the Belgian league, to ensure a full recovery of his fitness and improve his playing rhythm, which is considered beneficial for his long-term development.

This move may be similar to previous steps Dortmund has taken with other talents, and all parties are exploring available options to ensure the best path for the player's progress.
