Paris St Germain believe they can persuade Aston Villa to sell Jhon Duran this summer or even as early as this month. The Colombian has been one of the stars of Villa’s season, scoring 12 goals, but the French champions are cautiously optimistic he is within reach, even though any deal would prove extremely complicated in the middle of the season.

PSG are desperate for a centre-forward and Duran is high on their list of targets. Duran signed a new contract until 2030, including a huge pay rise, only last October and it seems inconceivable Villa would sell him without lining up a replacement. They would also demand a price that would put Duran behind only Jack Grealish, who joined Manchester City for £100m in 2021, in the club’s list of record sales.

Villa want to sign Donyell Malan from Borussia Dortmund but the Dutchman is not an orthodox centre-forward, operating instead in a number of roles across the front line. Jhon Duran has enjoyed a breakout year this season, scoring 12 goals for Aston Villa so far.
PSG believe that they can convince Villa to part ways with the 21-year-old Colombian striker. The French champions are keen to sell Ran Kolo Muani and would be willing include the forward in a deal for Duran. PSG are trying to move on forward Randal Kolo Muani and would be keen to include the France internationals in any discussions for Duran, 21.
Villa were prepared to sell Duran in each of the last two windows, but he has since become a central figure for boss Unai Emery. Duran replaced Ollie Watkins as Villa’s first-choice No9 before he was sent off at Newcastle on Boxing Day, which brought a three-match ban.
