Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran is close to completing a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, sources have confirmed to BBC Sport.<\/b><\/p>\n

A fee has been agreed between the two clubs and Duran – who was on the bench for Villa’s 4-2 win over Celtic on Wednesday night – was undergoing a medical on Thursday.<\/p>\n

A price of \u00a365m for the 21-yer-old Colombian has been reported, although not verified by BBC Sport. <\/p>\n

A senior Saudi Pro League source said Duran will fly to Saudi Arabia on Saturday if the medical goes well.<\/p>\n

Sources told BBC Sport that Duran was saying his goodbyes to staff and colleagues at Villa Park on Wednesday night after the deal progressed.<\/p>\n

A Saudi delegation has been stationed in London this week negotiating the deal.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa have been approached for comment.<\/p>\n

Villa manager Unai Emery was asked post-match on Wednesday about the future of Duran as well as striker Ollie Watkins, amid a rejected bid from Arsenal.<\/p>\n

On Duran, Emery said: “If he is leaving it’s because he wants [to]. I told you last week I wanted him here.<\/p>\n

“We are different people, different objectives.<\/p>\n

“The club is working and we have to be intelligent in the market. <\/p>\n

“Our objective here is to keep our structure because we want to keep the level high, and maybe we have to sell some players – and I don’t know exactly until everything is done whether or not Jhon Duran is leaving – but if he does, it’ll be good news for us because it’s good money.”<\/p>\n

Duran joined Villa from Chicago Fire for \u00a318m in January 2023 but is now expected to leave in a deal reportedly worth more than \u00a364.4m plus add-ons. <\/p>\n

Al-Nassr are fourth in the Saudi Pro League table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the summer Duran courted controversy. He had reportedly agreed personal terms with West Ham and in a live social media video he crossed his arms to imitate West Ham’s Irons logo.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, West Ham reportedly had a \u00a357m bid for Duran rejected by Villa., external<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Duran has scored 12 goals in 29 appearances in all competitions this season, but manger Unai Emery has preferred England’s Watkins as his first-choice striker. <\/p>\n

Villa turned down<\/a> an approach from Arsenal for Watkins, 29, in the build-up to their game against Scottish champions Celtic. <\/p>\n

After a strong start to the campaign, including scoring the winner in three Premier League matches as a substitute, Duran signed a contract extension<\/a> at Villa Park until 2030 in October. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
