Aston Villa Alerted as Al-Nassr Enter Transfer Race for £80M-Rated PSG, West Ham Target | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain are eyeing Aston Villa forward Jhon Durán as a potential addition to their attack, focusing on strengthening their squad for the future.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, PSG remain interested in Durán but face a significant hurdle in Villa’s £80 million valuation. This steep price reflects the Colombian’s strong performances and a recent contract extension, with Villa reportedly unwilling to part ways unless an exceptional offer comes their way.

PSG, however, value Durán at closer to £55 million, creating a considerable gap between the two sides. Meanwhile, other clubs are also showing interest in the talented forward.

Jacobs also revealed that Villa recently turned down a £57 million bid from West Ham for Durán—their second attempt during this transfer window. Villa are said to be firm in their stance, with only an offer approaching £85 million (€100 million) likely to change their position.

According to Foot Mercato’s Santi Aouna, PSG came close to reaching an agreement with Durán’s representatives and made a verbal offer of €75 million, which Aston Villa rejected.

The report also reveals that Durán, one of the top striker prospects, is showing strong interest in joining Al Nassr, who have entered the race for his signature.

During an AMA session for TEAMtalk, journalist Rudy Galetti spoke about where West Ham stands in this pursuit of the Colombian.

“West Ham are pushing hard for Durán and have put a significant offer on the table. However, Aston Villa, which do not want to sell Jhon this session, are asking for much higher, and there is still almost £20 million in difference.

“To date, it seems to be an unbridgeable gap, but West Ham will certainly try to negotiate the situation. Also, watch out for possible competitors who could enter the race in the final days of the transfer window…”
