Julien Duranville has been under contract with Borussia Dortmund for almost a year.
After a long injury misery he is ready to get started.
Dortmund – Borussia Dortmund has already helped numerous talented players such as Ousmane Dembélé, Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho make the next leap.
BVB also has the same plan with Julien Duranville, who came from RSC Anderlecht for 8.5 million last winter.
After a long period of suffering, he is now on the verge of his comeback.
Duranville is traveling to Eindhoven – chances for a short assignment?
On Tuesday evening, BVB will face PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of the round of 16 in the Champions League.
The Dortmunders face a strong opponent who is trained by an old friend.
Under Peter Bosz, who coached Borussia Dortmund for 24 games in 2017, the club is well on its way to winning the Dutch Eredivisie championship.
With 62 points after 22 match days, they are already ten points ahead of champions Feyenoord Rotterdam.
According to Sky
, mega-talent Julien Duranville also traveled to Eindhoven
, who could celebrate his squad comeback with the runner-up after a long injury.
This is significant because both Donyell Malen and Karim Adeyemi are at risk of missing out.
Malen made the trip to his former club, but it is still unclear whether he will be able to play.

Duranville as a beacon of hope – debut was a trauma
In January 2023, BVB paid RSC Anderlecht 8.5 million euros for the services of Duranville, who was only 16 at the time.
Shortly before, he had suffered a torn muscle in his thigh and was expected to be out until mid-May.
Nevertheless, Dortmund did not shy away from his commitment.
His debut was a game that must have been burned deep into the minds of all Dortmund players.
On May 27th last year, BVB needed a win in the home game against Mainz 05 to become German champions for the first time since 2012.
After a long deficit, it was only enough for a 2-2 and because FC Bayern was able to beat 1. FC Köln in the final phase, the championship trophy went back to Munich.
Duranville made his debut for BVB in this game and played 28 minutes.
It should remain his last game for the time being.

Injuries keep setting Duranville back – Terzić trusts him
After a promising start to summer preparation, a torn muscle set him back.
After he was fit again two months later, there was the next bad news.
Another muscle injury meant that he has only been able to train with the team again since the beginning of February.
In total he has already missed 31 games this season.
Nevertheless, BVB coach Edin Terzić is looking forward to the 17-year-old's return.
“Anyone who sees Julien’s talent knows that he can be an immediate help,” said the
Bild
trainer about Duranville.
People in Dortmund are excitedly looking forward to the Belgian's return.
