Aston Villa's Jhon Duran Transfers to Al Nassr in Record Deal
The Colombian forward joins Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane at the Saudi Pro League club for a reported fee that could reach €85 million.
- Aston Villa confirmed the transfer of 21-year-old Colombian striker Jhon Duran to Al Nassr for an undisclosed fee, with reports suggesting the deal could reach nearly €85 million with add-ons.
- The transfer marks the second-highest fee in Aston Villa's history, following Jack Grealish's £100 million move to Manchester City in 2021.
- Duran, who scored 12 goals this season, joins a star-studded Al Nassr squad that includes Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane.
- Villa cited the financial disparity between Premier League wages and Saudi Pro League offers as a key factor in accepting the transfer, with Duran reportedly set to earn five times his Villa salary.
- Aston Villa is now targeting João Félix and Marco Asensio to strengthen their attack before the transfer window closes on Monday.
