Jhon Duran has left Aston Villa for a stunning move to Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract worth a reported £46,000 per day. The move comes as a surprise after Villa manager Unai Emery expressed his desire to keep Duran at the club.
With just three days left in the January transfer window, Jhon Duran has made a significant move, signing a lucrative five-and-a-half-year contract with Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr . Duran, who has been a standout performer for Aston Villa this season with 12 goals in 29 appearances, was pictured wearing the number nine shirt on Friday following a successful medical.
A statement released by his former club read: 'Everyone at Aston Villa would like to wish Jhon all the best in the next step of his professional career.' According to reports, Duran's new deal will see him earn around £46,000 per day, £1,900 per hour, and £31 per minute, marking a substantial increase from his previous weekly salary of £75,000 at Villa Park. This move comes after Aston Villa manager Unai Emery expressed his desire to keep Duran at the club. Emery stated: “You know my opinion on him (Duran). A fantastic potential player. I was always trying to get him with my advice. I was so, so close with him, trying to work with him for his development. But the player has their own objective, (their) ambition. I told you last week, I wanted him here. But what does he want?” Duran had previously been signed by Chicago Fire in 2023 for around $18.3 million. Despite his impressive goals-to-game ratio, he has only started seven out of his 55 Premier League appearances for Villa
