Aston Villa Accept Al Nassr’s €77 Million Bid for Duran

Aston Villa has confirmed the acceptance of a €77 million bid from Al Nassr for their young star, Jhon Duran.

Despite a strong summer of interest from multiple clubs, including a £57 million bid from West Ham United, Duran now looks set for a fresh challenge in Saudi Arabia. His move to Al Nassr will see him join forces with global icon Cristiano Ronaldo at one of the Middle East’s most prestigious football clubs.
