A young center forward, who scores goals and shines in Europe, Jhon Duran has a profile that makes several European clubs salivate. PSG inquired about him.
Gonçalo Ramos injured, Randal Kolo-Muani replacing or exiled on the wing, Lee Kang-In lost in this position, PSG is playing without a center forward this season. If this has sometimes allowed FC Barcelona or the Spanish selection to win titles, this tactic is reaching its limits in the Champions League for the moment. And in the meantime, there is a player almost unknown to European radars a year ago who is shining. This is Jhon Duran, who is carrying Aston Villa on his back this season and even making the English club the most effective in the new Champions League. A form which pushed the Birmingham team last month to extend his contract until 2030, a sign of Unai Emery's desire not to lose his Colombian international.
Still a huge margin for progress?
Above all, this had the gift of increasing the appetite of many European clubs. According to the Spanish and English press, PSG have joined the ranks of Bayern Munich and Arsenal to try to bring in Jhon Duran, a real striker who is attracted to goal. His market value is 35 million euros, but he has already almost reached the 10-goal mark this season, and his price is likely to increase further if he continues at this pace. At only 20 years old, the Colombian, who came from MLS for only 16 million euros, is enough to make European clubs including PSG drool, given that his room for improvement is still considered large by Premier League followers.
