Duran joins Fenerbahce on loan from Al-Nassr

Jhon Duran, a striker from Colombia, moved from Aston Villa to Al-Nassr in a £71m deal to join Fenerbahce on a year-long loan.

The 21-year-old made 12 league starts for Villa last season, out of his 29 games.

Duran made 12 goals in 18 appearances for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr in January.

For Jhon Duran to join our squad on a one-year loan, our club and the player have reached an agreement, according to Fenerbahce in a statement.

Under our striped jersey, we wish our player a successful season.

Duran, who has three goals for Colombia in 17 international games, signed for Villa for £18 million in January 2023.

In his 78 games with the club, Duran was unable to consistently replace England striker Ollie Watkins in the starting lineup, scoring 20 goals in 61 of those appearances.

Cristiano Ronaldo is staying after agreeing to a two-year contract with Al-Nassr last month, helping them finish third last year in the Saudi Pro League.
