Al Nassr have made offers for Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran, while the Saudi Pro League side have also agreed a deal for Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface. Mail Sport reported last week that Duran had emerged as a target for the Saudi Pro League side.

Aston Villa have already turned down a £57million offer from West Ham for the Colombian striker this window. Al Nassr have made a similar offer to the Premier League side, but Aston Villa are expected to hold out for around £80m. Villa are one of four clubs currently working on a deal for Chelsea’s Joao Felix.

Any exit for Duran could also help financially help facilitate a swoop for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. Mail Sport sources indicate that an offer from Villa for the Wolves forward without a sale is unlikely. Aston Villa are expected to hold out for £80m for forward Jhon Duran amid Al-Nassr interest.

The Saudi Pro League side have also been in talks for Bayer Leverkusen star Victor Boniface. Al-Nassr are looking to add a forward this window to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane. Cash from Duran's sale would also be used to strengthen the defence with Chelsea's Axel Disasi, Villarreal's Juan Foyth and Lens' Kevin Danso among the options.
Duran has scored 12 goals from 29 appearances this season in all competitions for Unai Emery's side. Despite his impressive form, Duran has found first-team starts hard to come by throughout the campaign, with Emery often preferring Ollie Watkins as the lone striker in his side.
