Napoli scouted Jhon Duran during Aston Villa’s Premier League loss | OneFootball

Serie A side Napoli are quite interested in signing Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran and they watched him during their Premier League loss to Newcastle United.

Il Mattino state that emmisaries from the Partenopei were present at St James Park at the weekend, as Duran was sent off in the 32nd minute during the game.

It didn’t cause any problems, when it comes to his perception as Napoli are still very much interested. They do not want to make a January move and only want to make the approach in the summer. Giovanni Manna and club CEO Aurelio de Laurentiis see the player as a ‘dream target’ but they do not want to panic.

Aston Villa want a fee of €45 million to sell the Colombian and Napoli are waiting for money from sales to make that offer, which will likely be made during the summer transfer window. Antonio Conte also remains interested.
