Luis Enrique’s PSG are all set to table an offer worth €60 million for the services of Aston Villa attacking sensation Jhon Duran.
PSG are looking to reinforce their attack, and they have their eyes set on Aston Villa’s young striker Jhon Duran. According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Ligue 1 giants are ready to kick-start negotiations with the Premier League outfit with an initial offer worth €60 million.
After making a name for himself in Major League Soccer, Duran made the move to England at the start of 2023. The young striker has only gone from strength to strength since joining Unai Emery’s team. While he is not yet a guaranteed starter under the Spanish coach, the Colombian striker has had quite an impact on the bench.
Jhon Duran has been involved in a total of 26 games and has bagged 12 goals so far. Despite being on the pitch for less than 1,000 minutes, the 21-year-old has helped Aston Villa win quite a few fixtures this season. His performances in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League have put him on the radar of multiple top clubs.
PSG prepare an initial offer for Duran
While there is no shortage of interest in his services, Paris Saint-Germain are believed to be the team with concrete interest in his signature. Luis Enrique is keen on adding more firepower to his attack, having lost Kylian Mbappe in the summer.
The Ligue 1 champions still have some quality options up top. However, Enrique is looking for a world-class forward with physical presence, and Duran is an ideal fit for his system. With Randal Kolo Muani no longer an important part of the Spanish manager’s plans, they believe the Colombian striker could be a great acquisition for the short as well as the long run.
PSG are all set to enter into negotiations with Aston Villa. They are ready to put forward an initial offer of €60 million to kick-start the discussions regarding a potential transfer. People at the French club rate the youngster quite highly, and that is reflected by the figures they are willing to fork out.
