Jhon Duran, 21-year-old striker for Colombia and Al-Nassr (contract until 2030), was mentioned in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain before leaving Aston Villa for Saudi Arabia during the 2024-2025 winter mercato. PSG Inside Actus reports on Thursday that he would like to leave again, and that PSG is one of the clubs contacted by his agent.
An avenue to explore?
“Colombian striker Jhon Durán, currently under contract with Al-Nassr, has reportedly expressed his desire to leave Saudi Arabia this summer. According to various media reports, the player is unhappy in the Saudi league and is considering a return to Europe, where he hopes to relaunch his career in a more competitive environment.
According to my sources, Durán has drawn up a list of European clubs he would like to join. Among them is Paris Saint-Germain, at the top of his list of priorities. His agent has already taken the initiative of sending proposals to the target clubs, including PSG, to gauge their interest in a transfer.
The Parisian club has so far given no official response. So it remains to be seen whether the Parisian leaders will decide to pursue this avenue in the coming weeks.”
Nothing impossible, Duran would not be the first player to have a desire to return to Europe after a spell in Saudi Arabia. A destination that was very surprising, if not disappointing, for this young talent who shone in the Premier League.
With a view to “relaunching” his career, the Colombian international may be thinking of PSG and other clubs. Be careful, though: there’s no such thing as a sure thing with a rumor. Above all, it should be stressed that PSG’s response is not yet known. How tempted could Paris be by this 9?
He has an interesting profile, possibly with a future. But we don’t know if Paris intends to recruit in this position, when it’s already difficult for the talented Gonçalo Ramos (23) to make room for himself in coach Luis Enrique’s style. Let’s wait and see if this dossier leads to anything more.
