Saudi Arabia strikes a very big blow at the end of the winter transfer window. Coveted by Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and various European stables in recent months, Jhon Durán has finally officially engaged with the Al-Nassr club where a certain Cristiano Ronaldo is currently playing. As we revealed to you, the 21 -year -old Colombian striker, who had already spent his medical examination in London, therefore agreed to raise the Saudi challenge after a conclusive experience in England.
Arrived at Aston Villa in January 2023 from the Chicago Fire (MLS) for 16 million euros, Duran had everything to prove when arriving in England. Despite competition from Ollie Watkins, the 21 -year -old has literally exploded. This season, he thus scored 12 goals in 29 matches in all competitions, including jewelry against Everton, but especially against Leipzig in the Champions League, with a missile at 25 meters.
Jhon Duran transferred for € 75 million
What convince al-Nassr to recruit him since the news is now official. The Saudi club has published a short video showing the attacker with his brand new jersey, his name and with the number 9 on the back. More information will be transmitted in the coming hours. The serial scorer will not be too much to help his new team to win the Saudi championship, something that Cristiano Ronaldo has still not managed to do since his arrival.
Fast, powerful, skillful with both feet, and killer in front of the goal, Duran will therefore reinforce the offensive sector of the formation now trained by Stefano Pioli. Seduced by its qualities, the Saudi board did not hesitate to pay 75 million euros (excluding bonuses) to afford the native of Medellín. Colombian international (15 selections, 2 goals), the left -hander of 1m85 joins the country of the Gulf only two years after his arrival on the side of the Villans. A very big blow made by Al-Nassr, third of Saudi Pro League.
