Jhon Duran transfers: Aston Villa forward set for Al-Nassr medical

Jhon Duran of Aston Villa is set to leave to the Saudi Pro League

Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran is set to join Al-Nassr after an agreement was reached for an initial €77 million.  

The Athletic reporter has exclusively revealed that the South American is set to undergo a medical ahead of a proposed move to the Saudi Pro League outfit.

He posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Jhon Duran set for medical in London on Thursday before proposed move from Aston Villa to Al Nassr. €77m + add-ons agreed in principle & 5.5yr contract in place. Arsenal made approach for Ollie Watkins on Monday – quickly rebuffed.”

“I’ll NEVER say sorry!” – which ex-Arsenal star says he was “really p***ed off” with how he was treated before leaving?

They weren’t the only club in the race. Speaking on his YouTube channel, fellow transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano stated that Arsenal had also made a call to ask about Duran’s situation as they look to bring in more firepower upfront.

He said: “Because Sesko, at the moment, no green light from Leipzig. Also Alexander Isak, the dream target of Arsenal. Super expensive, almost very complicated, impossible, nothing in football, but very complicated.

“And so in recent weeks, also Arsenal called to understand the situation of Jhon Duran, but no bid, no direct negotiations with Aston Villa.”
