The al-wet FC will make Jhon Durán by Aston Villa promptly the most expensive Colombian in football history-this is what the Times reports. Accordingly, Cristiano Ronaldo’s employer agreed with the Birmingham club with a transfer fee of 77 million euros plus bonuses. The medical check is to follow on Thursday and then Durán will sign a contract dated until 2031 to the fourth fourth of the Saudi Pro League.
The 1.85 meter tall Colombian switched from Chicago Fire to Aston Villa in January 2023 for 20.15 million euros and scored 20 goals in 78 games, in which he mostly came to a joker. During this season there were twelve goals in just 1,043 minutes. “When Jhon Durán goes, that’s good for us, because they pay good money,” said Villa coach Unai Emery after the 4-2 victory against Celtic Glasgow in the Champions League. This money now flows to Birmingham instead of Leverkusen, because besides Durán, Bayer professional also applied Victor Boniface As a transfer goal. A considerable part of the transfer will also go to Chicago, which has secured a share of resale, which is due to around 20 percent.
Before the upcoming move to Saudi Arabia, West Ham United also extended his feelers to Durán, but failed with an offer of around 67 million euros. Al-Nassr’s offer ensured a rethink at club and player and will probably make the 21-year-old promptly to Neymar and the most expensive Colombian ever. James Rodríguez changed from AS Monaco to Real Madrid in 2014 after an outstanding world championship for 75 million euros and was replaced by his national team colleague a good ten years later.
