Liverpool have deployed their scouting team to monitor the progress of Belgium international Julien Duranville as the Anfield side pursue a possible summer transfer move for the 19-year-old forward. Currently playing for Borussia Dortmund, Duranville already has two caps for Belgium’s national side and in recent months has been appearing for Dortmund’s second string side. The 5 foot 7 player is set for a loan move to Swiss outfit Basel this month, and Arne Slot‘s staff will pull the strings to push through a summer deal.
Most comfortable playing as a left winger, Duranville has impressed many at Dortmund and Liverpool are moving swiftly to agree a possible summer deal. Slot’s team are looking for long-term replacements for Mo Salah and in Duranville they believe he represents a good value option.
Basel yesterday agreed a loan move that will see Duranville join until May, and Liverpool will pay approximately 15 million euros this month to secure the forward’s future at Anfield.
Liverpool have beaten several teams to Duranville’s signature, including Spanish sides Villarreal and Real Sociedad.
