BVB have secured the signing of the 16-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder for the 2026/27 season, once he reaches the age of majority.
Meanwhile, Lerma, who made his debut in the top flight this season at just 15 years old, will remain part of our Club, continuing his development within the team.
BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl commented on Justin: “We have been following Justin’s progress closely for a long time and have maintained a close relationship with him and his family. He is one of the best South American talents of his generation, and we are excited to have him at Borussia Dortmund.”
At Independiente del Valle, we deeply value Justin and want to enjoy his talent for a longer time, before he takes this important step in his career.
