The national and international clubs are planning for the coming second half of the season. All important news in the transfer ticker.
The German clubs are allowed to sign additional players until February 2nd (8 p.m.). At t-online you can find an overview of rumors and changes from Germany and the world.
Offensive player Julien Duranville could leave Borussia Dortmund on loan in January. The 19-year-old is currently not playing a role under coach Niko Kovač and two clubs are showing concrete interest in him, according to Sky Sport. However, the broadcaster did not mention which clubs these should be in the report.
Duranville, who has been playing for Borussia Dortmund since moving from RSC Anderlecht three years ago, has only made 15 Bundesliga appearances so far, but the Belgian has made just one appearance for the “Black and Yellow” professionals this season.
Another indication of an impending farewell: At the training camp in Marbella, Duranville mostly trained away with an assistant coach in order to keep the risk of injury as low as possible.
João Cancelo no longer plays a sporting role at al-Hilal and is pushing for a change after being sidelined. The 31-year-old is apparently considering a return to Europe. According to the Italian “Gazzetta dello Sport”, Cancelo is about to go on loan to Inter Milan – if it weren’t for FC Barcelona.
Even before the winter transfer window officially opened on January 1, 2026, a number of changes in the Bundesliga had already been made. Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg were particularly active.
According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Cancelo, who was already on loan at Inter from 2017 and 2018, is still hesitating about his decision. The professional, who was also under contract with FC Bayern, is planning to return to Barça. Before moving to al-Hilal, he already played for the Catalans.
