NEW DELHI: Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr signed 21-year-old Colombian forward Jhon Duran from Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee, the Premier League club announced on Friday night.
Although financial details were not disclosed by either club, British media reported that the deal to sign the Colombia international was worth around 77 million euros ($80.21 million) plus add-ons.
It is the second-highest transfer fee Villa has ever received after winger Jack Grealish’s move to Manchester City for a reported fee of 100 million pounds ($124.05 million) in 2021.
“Aston Villa can confirm that Jhon Duran has joined Al Nassr for an undisclosed fee. Everyone at Aston Villa would like to wish Jhon all the best in the next step of his professional career,” Villa said in a statement.
Duran, who joined from third-tier U.S. club Chicago Fire FC II in 2023, scored 20 goals in 78 appearances for the Birmingham-based side. Agencies
