Jhon Durán is on the verge of joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, with the club closing in on a verbal agreement with Aston Villa for a transfer worth €75 million, including add-ons.
Al-Nassr's Interest in Durán
The Colombian forward has emerged as a prime target for Al-Nassr, who initially considered Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface before shifting focus to Durán. The Saudi club is keen to strengthen its attacking lineup, which already features Cristiano Ronaldo.
Aston Villa’s Stance and Previous Offers
Aston Villa previously turned down a £57 million bid from West Ham United, holding out for a fee closer to £80 million. Durán’s performances, which have attracted interest from top European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, have boosted his market value.
Durán’s Impact at Aston Villa
Since arriving from Chicago Fire in January 2023, Durán has made a strong impression in the Premier League, scoring 12 goals. His rapid development has positioned him as one of the most promising young strikers in the market.
Final Stages of Negotiation
With the transfer window nearing its close, discussions between Aston Villa and Al-Nassr continue as both sides work to finalize the deal. If completed, the move would mark another high-profile acquisition for the Saudi Pro League.
