Ready to make a second big move this winter, Paris Saint-Germain tried to acquire Jhon Duran. The Aston Villa striker was close to a deal with the capital club. But after the refusal of his leaders, the Colombian international now has a preference for a Saudi destination.
Even if he persists in starting matches with a false number 9, Luis Enrique is not closed to the idea of welcoming a new center forward. Before the victory against Manchester City (4-2) on Wednesday in the Champions League, the Paris Saint-Germain coach clearly suggested that he would also play with a top striker if he could rely on a player like Erling Haaland. Gonçalo Ramos must have appreciated… Especially since his leaders seem to be looking for a scorer.
PSG offer refused
Since the start of the winter transfer window, several sources have revealed and confirmed Parisian interest in Jhon Duran (21 years old). Paris Saint-Germain, which bet 70 million euros on winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, plans to make a second big move with the Aston Villa striker. The reigning French champion has indeed moved closer to an agreement with the Colombian's entourage, Foot Mercato tells us. But the operation collapsed when the generous offer from Paris Saint-Germain, namely 75 million euros, was refused by the Villans.
-The English club would demand 100 million euros to let its revelation of the season slip away. A priori, the Ile-de-France management will not rise so high in the discussions. It could even be that negotiations will not resume. It is now Al-Nassr which is announced in pole position on this issue, the Saudi club, where the Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo plays, having regained the favors of John Duran. From PSG to Saudi Arabia, it seems that the former Chicago Fire player does not have a precise career plan. At least on a sporting level.
