YSaudi Arabian club enter race for Aston Villa star – He’s ‘very interested’ in transfer offer – Sport Witness

Al-Nassr are set to enter the developing race for Aston Villa striker Jhon Durán, who was also close to an agreement in place with Paris Saint Germain.

That’s according to journalist Santi Aouna, who reports that the French side made a verbal offer worth €75m, which was rejected by Aston Villa.

He reports that while all that has been happening in the background, Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr are now entering the race for him. In fact, he states that Durán is ‘very interested’ by the Saudi Pro League club.

Aouna makes no mention of any imminent bid being made to Aston Villa or Durán at this moment in time. He also offers no reason why the striker would be interested in the move.

Of course, we can all assume why he would be interested in the move, the potential money that may be on offer. Saudi clubs may not be spending what they once were, but they will still offer big wages compared to Europe.

A player like Durán, who is an undoubted rising talent and ‘one of the best strikers in the world’ according to Aouna, could earn big sums in the country if he made the move there.

At the moment it doesn’t seem to be anything beyond interest, but Al-Nassr may now be a club to keep an eye on in the ever-growing list of admirers for Durán.
