Florentino Pérez remains alert to any possibilities that the market may present, especially when it comes to young players. Foot Mercato recently reported on a potential operation that the president of Real Madrid could undertake: the signing of Jhon Durán from Aston Villa. At 21 years old, he is shining in the Premier League and has reportedly sparked the interest of the Merengue team to secure his services.
Jhon Durán, a Colombian, is of interest to half of Europe and is clear that his future lies away from Aston Villa. Besides Real Madrid, PSG also wants him, although he is currently considering a strong offer from Saudi Arabia. He is negotiating his move to Al-Nassr, where he would have a substantial salary over the coming years and the status of an undisputed starter.
Jhon Durán to Real Madrid: the Operation Revealed in France
In this regard, Foot Mercato has gone further regarding Real Madrid's interest in the Colombian from Aston Villa. For him to arrive, Florentino Pérez would be willing to loan Endrick to another club in Spain, trying to make room for Jhon Durán. He is the top scorer of the English club with 12 goals and is valued at around 100 million euros, a figure for which he would leave the Premier League team.
Despite this information, Madrid-Barcelona is in a position to assure that Real Madrid has no intention of parting with Endrick. The confidence in the Brazilian is total, no loan is being considered and this scenario could only arise from the next season. Perhaps, if Ancelotti continues on the bench but right now, it is a possibility completely ruled out by Florentino Pérez.
Jhon Durán, an Unrealistic Option
Respecting the information from Foot Mercato, sources from Real Madrid indicate to Madrid-Barcelona that the interest exists, but there will be no proposal. He is a forward who has been followed in recent months, and despite having a good performance and good reports, he is practically ruled out.
All efforts of Real Madrid, with Florentino Pérez at the helm, are focused on strengthening the defensive line for the next season. The attack is more than covered, and there would only be arrivals if there were departures. This will not be the case, so Jhon Durán will not play at Santiago Bernabéu, at least, for now...
