In search of offensive reinforcements, Paris Saint-Germain has set its sights on Jhon Duran, a young Colombian striker playing for Aston Villa. Author of 12 goals in 26 matches in all competitions this season, the 21-year-old seduces Luis Enrique, who sees in him an ideal complement to energize his offensive sector. The striker would also be open to the idea of joining the Parisian club, where he could take a new step in his career.
High financial requirements
However, Aston Villa do not appear ready to give up their young talent easily. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the leaders of the English club would require a minimum amount of 95 million euros to consider the departure of Jhon Duran. A substantial sum which testifies to the importance of the player in the Villans project. Faced with this requirement, Luis Campos, sports director of PSG, would consider including a player in the transaction in order to reduce the cost of the operation.
Marco Asensio included in the transaction?
Among the options studied, Marco Asensio could be integrated into a possible exchange. The Spanish international, little used by Luis Enrique for several weeks, is attracting the interest of Aston Villa. According to RMC Sport, the English club would appreciate the versatility of the Parisian striker, who could compensate for possible departures in their offensive sector. This possibility of exchange could allow PSG to alleviate the financial demands of Aston Villa while rebalancing its workforce.
-A complex but promising file
Although the discussions have not yet resulted in a concrete agreement, this mutual interest between the two clubs could speed up the negotiations. PSG, wishing to strengthen itself effectively this winter, will however have to juggle between the economic demands of Aston Villa and the strategic adjustments of its own squad. The Jhon Duran file therefore looks complex, but promising for the coming weeks.
