FANS IN DISBELIEF AS REMARKABLE REPORTS EMERGE ABOUT JHON DURAN DURING ASTON VILLA VS CELTIC GAME

As the oblivious Jhon Duran watched his side take an early lead in the Champions League on Wednesday night, a significant update regarding his future at Aston Villa emerged.
It will go down as one of the biggest transfers of the 2025 January transfer window if a deal goes through.
Duran, who has been one of Villa’s standout performers this season with 12 goals in 29 games, is expected to undergo a medical on Thursday ahead of a proposed move to Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr.
That’s according to The Athletic, who suggest an agreement in principle has been reached between Villa and Al Nassr worth £64.5 million plus add-ons for the 21-year-old striker.
In fact, personal terms have already been agreed, with a lucrative five-and-half-year contract on the table.
Journalist Nicolò Schira claims Duran will be handed a yearly salary of €20 million [£16.7m], which is around £320,000 per week.Earlier this week, Villa’s Premier League rivals West Ham had a £57million bid for the Colombian forward rejected
The Hammers showed interest in the player last summer when they bid £30 million plus teenage midfielder Lewis Orford – an offer that was rebuffed by Unai Emery’s side.
At the time, it was suggested that Villa had “no intention of selling” the 21-year-old in the January transfer window but it appears things have changed following Al Nassr’s big-money move.
According to Foot Mercato, Real Madrid and PSG were also interested in signing Duran.
