Jhon Duran, the former Aston Villa forward, is reportedly on the move again — this time heading to Fenerbahce on loan from Al-Nassr.The Colombian striker joined the Saudi outfit in January for a staggering 64.5 millions after an impressive spell at Villa, where he tallied 20 goals across 18 months. Since arriving in Riyadh, Duran has kept up his form, scoring 12 goals in 18 appearances.Now, according to Foot Mercato, Duran is set to spend next season in Turkey, with Fenerbahce striking a loan deal that includes a significant pay raise — one that could potentially place the 21-year-old among Europe’s top earners.🟡🔵 Understand Fenerbahçe made progress again in talks to sign Jhon Durán on Sunday!The deal is really getting closer… and for Durán at Al Nassr the story is over.All parties confident to get the final green light soon. ⏳💣 pic.twitter.com/ZyPLn5jZLK— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 30, 2025 When he signed with Al-Nassr, Duran penned a five-and-a-half-year deal reportedly worth over 335 thousand per week. After 21 weeks at the club, his total earnings are believed to have surpassed 7 millions — nearly five times what he would have made had he stayed at Villa on his previous 75 thousands-a-week salary.At Al-Nassr, Duran shared the spotlight with Cristiano Ronaldo, as the team finished third in the Saudi Pro League — 13 points behind champions Al-Ittihad. Ronaldo, whose original contract was set to expire this summer, has recently extended his stay by two more years in a deal rumored to be worth an eye-watering 488 thousand per day.Despite their deep pockets — Al-Nassr are bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which also owns Newcastle United — the club may be offloading Duran temporarily as part of financial restructuring to accommodate Ronaldo’s astronomical new deal.When you travel 1000 kilometers to trainingFenerbahce, meanwhile, are gearing up for another title push after finishing second in the Turkish Super Lig for the fourth consecutive season. With Jose Mourinho at the helm, the club netted 128 goals in 56 matches last season. Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri accounted for 30 of them following his move from Sevilla — and Duran’s arrival will add further firepower to an already potent attack.##NAJAVA_MECA_8996623##
