Prem side keen to sell striker Chelsea interested in signing for £40M
Aston Villa are still desperate to offload striker Jhon Duran this summer, who has been linked with a move to CHELSEA.
The centre-forward scored a modest eight goals in 37 appearances in all competitions last season and it is believed the Blues see the 20-year-old as a potential answer to their striker problems.
Duran is thought to be happy at Villa Park but would be eager to move to Stamford Bridge if they push through with their interest. It is thought the striker believes he would work well with Maresca and suits the club’s vision.
It is reported that he has asked his agent to get a deal done despite no formal proposal being made, and Permission has been granted by Villa for the club to discuss personal terms but nothing is doing so far.
Villa are desperate to get Duran off the books, according to the Football Insider website, and are holding out for closer to £40million for the Colombia international after rejecting around £30million for his services

Duran is certainly a talented striker – but this is the wrong move at the wrong time for the lad – he will really struggle to make any sort of impact at the club because he is not good enough for the Blues yet.
We are sure that Enzo Maresca would like a more ready-made striker to get signed – so Duran is not the right player for us.
