Jhon Durán Completes Move to Al Nassr in Record Transfer

Colombian striker Jhon Durán has finalized his transfer from Aston Villa to Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr in a deal valued at €77 million, with additional performance-based add-ons. The move marks a significant step in the 20-year-old forward’s career as he joins a squad featuring global stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, and Aymeric Laporte.

A Profitable Move for Aston Villa

Aston Villa initially signed Durán from Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire in January 2023 for approximately £14.75 million. His time in the Premier League saw him make 55 appearances, scoring 12 goals in the ongoing season. The transfer to Al Nassr represents a substantial financial gain for the English club.

Lucrative Contract in Saudi Arabia

Durán has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with Al Nassr, reportedly earning an annual salary of €20 million. This translates to a significant pay rise compared to his previous £75,000 weekly wage at Aston Villa.

With this acquisition, Al Nassr continues its ambitious squad-building strategy, reinforcing its attacking options as the club targets both domestic dominance and continental success.
