In-demand star can join Chelsea for £80 million in January!
Aston Villa have reportedly slapped a new mammoth price tag on Jhon Duran amid impressive form with the side, with the likes of CHELSEA still interested in a possible deal for the striker.
Duran was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea for most of the summer and it seemed that the striker was very much open to the idea of leaving Villa for a switch to Stamford Bridge – but in the end and despite all the rumours – a move never happened.
TEAMtalk revealed that Aston Villa will take over £80 million for anyone to sign him either this winter or next summer, as they are keen on keeping the Colombian at Villa Park.
the striker may be open to making the move to Stamford Bridge according to reporter Iomie Stanley.
He said: ‘The young Colombian has been in scintillating form for Villa this season, showing flashes of his immense potential and drawing attention from top clubs around Europe. Having been linked with Chelsea in the past, Durán’s performances under Unai Emery may push the Blues to consider making a move this winter.
‘Despite heavy spending on attackers in recent windows, Chelsea continue to struggle in the final third. With Nicolas Jackson still finding his feet in the Premier League, Chelsea lack a proven goal scorer capable of leading the line consistently. This has forced the club to explore options for the January window, and Durán could be a perfect fit.
‘At just 20 years old, Durán has shown an impressive mix of strength, pace, and finishing ability, scoring important goals for Aston Villa this season. His physical attributes and direct style would suit Chelsea’s attack, providing them with a dynamic forward who can stretch defenses and pose an aerial threat.
‘For Jhon Durán, a move to Chelsea would represent a significant step in his career. While he is currently developing well under Emery at Villa, Chelsea’s stature and history of competing for top honors could be difficult to ignore. Additionally, Durán would have the chance to play a central role in a team looking to rebuild under Enzo Maresca, with Chelsea’s long-term project potentially appealing to the young striker.
‘With Durán continuing to impress at Villa Park, CHELSEA could see him as a solution to their ongoing striker issues. A January bid might be on the cards as the Blues look to boost their attacking options’.
