With a separation between Julien Duranville and Borussia Dortmund seemingly inevitable, the club have already declined their first offer. 

So far, according to Sky Germany's Patrick Berger, the most concrete bid for the Belgian has come from AC Monza.

The Italian club, currently battling to gain promotion to Serie A via the playoffs, has submitted a written offer of €1.5million.

According to exclusive information from the pay-TV channel, this offer is significantly below the expectations of Dortmund's management.

Nevertheless, there could be movement in the poker game – several other clubs are closely observing the 20-year-old's situation.

Duranville spent the second half of the season on loan at Swiss side FC Basel, but failed to make his mark with just 2 goals in 16 games.
