Jhon Duran edging closer to transfer as talks advance | OneFootball

Jhon Duran is edging closer to a move to Fenerbahce just six months after moving to the Saudi Pro League.

The Colombian international joined Al-Nassr from Aston Villa for a fee of €77m in the January transfer window but now looks set to depart the Saudi side.

Fenerbahce have reached an agreement with Al-Nassr over the transfer of the player and are now working on a package to persuade Duran to Turkish football.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that talks are progressing positively between Fenerbahce and Duran, as the Süper Lig side look to make a statement signing. Duran has held talks with director Devin Özek this week and an agreement is getting nearer.

Duran joined Al-Nassr after an impressive emergence at Aston Villa. He scored 12 times for Aston Villa over the first half of the 2024/25 campaign, despite limited involvement due to the presence of Ollie Watkins.

His return came from just seven starts, averaging a goal evert 87 minutes of action across all competitions.

After joining Al-Nassr, Duran scored 12 times in 18 appearances but Al-Nassr have made the decision to let the forward leave.

The 21-year-old was previously a transfer target for Chelsea and West Ham United during his time at Villa Park.
