The 21 -year -old striker signed a five and a half year contract with the Saudi pro League team, joining an elite team made up of Cristiano Ronaldo, Aymeric Laporte and Sadio Mané. The financial conditions of the Duran agreement highlight the immense wealth offered by Saudi football. According to TNT Sports reports, the attacker will earn an annual salary of 16.7 million pounds Sterling in Al-Nassr. By decomposing more, this is equivalent to around £ 46,000 per day, £ 1,900 per hour and £ 31 per minute – an extraordinary increase compared to its previous £ 75,000 contract per week at Villa Park.
The ascent of Duran has been rapid since he joined Aston Villa in 2023 from the team of Major League Soccer Chicago Fire for an amount of around $ 18 million. The Colombian striker was one of the most promising players of the villa this season, scoring 12 goals in 29 appearances in all competitions. His performances have earned him to be recognized as a rising star, but he has often been deployed as a replacement, starting only seven times in 55 Premier League matches.
The new CR7 teammate
Al-Nassr spent 64 million pounds sterling for Duran after allowing the Brazilian striker Anderson Talisca to leave the club earlier in January. The new recruit will wear jersey n ° 9 to Al-Awwal Park.
Duran could make his debut for the club on Monday when they face al-Wasl in the AFC Champions League. He is likely to be part of a head trio composed of Ronaldo and the former Liverpool striker Sadio Mane.
