It can’t be done, the loan is an agreement you have with the current bank. You need to close it and reopen with the new bank.

Are you sure that there's no possibility for new bank to buy my debt from the old bank?

You should ask the new bank about this. Generally, it might be possible for the new bank to pay off the loans you have with the old bank and then set up a new loan for you. Why don’t you check with your new bank to see if they’d be willing to do that?

Unless you are talking of tens or hundreds of millions, no bank will bother.
