Aston Villa are struggling to sell Jhon Duran before the start of the season.
The Villains put the Colombian striker up for sale as a way to raise funds to comply with the Premier League’s strict rules of Profit and Sustainability (PSR).
However, Unai Emery’s side have seen interest dissipate and with their season just 12 days away from starting, concerns they may not be able to resolve the striker’s future are beginning to mount.
West Ham and Chelsea withdraw Jhon Duran interest
West Ham recently came within touching distance of recruiting the 20-year-old with Chelsea also having a long-standing interest. Both clubs have now withdrawn their interest though.
According to a recent report from Football Insider, the London-based duo have taken a step back from Duran with their focus shifting toward other targets.
The Hammers are on the verge of confirming the signing of Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund with Chelsea recently opening talks with Atletico Madrid to sign Samu Omorodion.
Duran’s future at Villa Park remains a mystery. The young striker’s recent social media activity which saw him make a West Ham-related hand gesture is likely to prompt discontent among Villa fans.
Emery will have his work cut out to seamlessly reintegrate Duran should the Spaniard be forced to start the season with wantaway South American among his options.
Sorry after all he has done he will be a bad apple in the dressing room.. I hope I’m proven wrong if he does stay as clearly he has talent.
Yeah agreed should of sold him for like 30m still a bonus of what we brought him for, bags of talent but a bad egg like Balotelli
I don’t think we should invest anymore time and effort into him. Trouble written all over him. He is not one bit interested in the villa.
Stick on his till 2028 or get shot for any amount!!
Sell him to west ham for £25m and reinvest the money on another striker
I don’t think we should invest anymore time and effort into him. Trouble written all over him. He is not one bit interested in the villa.
Stick on his own till 2028 or get shot for any amount!!
