Mercato: In addition to Kvara, PSG is also targeting Jhon Duran

The PSG transfer window is moving in the direction of arrivals. While the club has reactivated the track leading to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian left winger from Naples already courted last summer, the Parisian club is also interested in the Colombian striker from Aston Villa Jhon Duran (21 years old) according to information from RMC Sport.

The name of Unai Emery’s protégé had already been associated with PSG on January 5 by the English site Football Insider, which at the time mentioned an upcoming meeting between PSG and Aston Villa to discuss a possible exchange between Jhon Duran and Randal Kolo Muani, on whom PSG no longer counts.

PSG contacted Jhon Duran

RMC Sport does not confirm the hypothesis of an exchange, but rather the Parisian interest in this spectacular 21-year-old striker, author of 12 goals this season in all competitions while he has played almost half as many minutes as his competitor Ollie Watkins, author of 8 goals.

According to information from French radio, Jhon Duran’s profile has been validated by Parisian management and the player has already been contacted by PSG. However, the file does not look simple since Duran extended his contract with the Villans last October until 2030. Unai Emery would like to keep his scorer this winter according to RMC Sport, who thinks that Aston Villa could demand much more than 40 million euros, the amount of its valuation on Transfermarkt.

Kvara or Duran for PSG, but not both

If it is not clearly stated in the RMC Sport article, its journalist Fabrice Hawkins clarified on X that PSG would not recruit Kvara and Duran this winter. “It’s one or the other”he responded to an Internet user who asked him if the two files were linked. An answer which may surprise to the extent that the two have a very different profile: the Georgian plays mainly as a left winger, even if he can play in the center, while the Colombian is a pure center forward.
