Aston Villa striker Jhon Durán’s transfer to Al-Nassr is now considered a done deal. According to different sources, the English club will receive a fixed €77 million plus bonuses, with the total amount potentially reaching €90 million.

Durán has completed his medical and is scheduled to fly to Saudi Arabia on Friday to finalize the move. The Colombian forward has agreed to personal terms and will sign a five-and-a-half-year contract, earning approximately £300,000 per week at his new club. The 19-year-old has scored 12 goals in 29 matches for Aston Villa this season and will now join Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané in Al-Nassr’s attack.

Aston Villa stands to make a huge profit on Durán, having acquired him from Chicago Fire for just £18 million, including bonuses. Following this transfer, the Birmingham club has confirmed they will reject all offers for their other striker, Ollie Watkins. Just yesterday, Villa turned down a £60 million bid from Arsenal for the England international.
