German media report that Olympique Lyonnais is finalizing the transfer of 20-year-old Belgian winger Julien Duranville from Borussia Dortmund for €8.5 million including bonuses. Duranville, who joined BVB from Anderlecht in 2023 for the same fee, has underwhelmed with only 1 goal and 1 assist in 27 appearances, hampered by injuries and failing to establish himself. A loan to Basel last season was also inconclusive. German outlet Der Westen calls his departure a 'godsend' for BVB, and Swiss media criticize his attitude, with one consultant labeling him a 'circus player.' BVB is expected to include a 20% sell-on clause. The move is seen as a cost-effective replacement for OL's Afonso Moreira, who is heading to Bayer Leverkusen.

According to German Sky Sports reporter Patrick Berger, Belgian winger Julien Duranville is set to transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Olympique Lyonnais. The 20-year-old has agreed to the move and is eager to join Lyon, which has reached a principle agreement with him. Final club negotiations are ongoing and progressing positively. Dortmund expects to recover its initial €8.5 million investment from 2023 but not the full €13 million total cost. Dortmund is pushing for a high sell-on clause or buy-back option, with a sell-on clause seen as more realistic. Duranville, born in 2006, primarily plays left wing and was loaned to Basel for the 2025-26 season, recording 2 goals and 2 assists in 19 appearances.
