Jhon Duran is all set to pair up with Cristiano Ronaldo as Aston Villa are reportedly ‘ready to accept’ a €70m (£59m/$73m) transfer bid from Al-Nassr.
Per L’Equipe, Duran is all set to move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr and link up with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Aston Villa are ‘ready to accept’ an offer in excess of €70 million (£58m/$73m) for the 21-year-old, who has already agreed to contract terms with the Middle Eastern club.
For a long time, the Villans maintained that Duran would not be allowed to leave the club in January.
Accordingly, Paris Saint-Germain were said to be preparing a summer swoop, while Foot Mercato reported last week that Real Madrid had also joined the race for Duran and were reportedly ready to offer Endrick in a swap deal.
However, it now appears that Al-Nassr will beat both clubs to the punch.
Ronaldo has been pushing his club to sign a new attacker to strengthen their squad so that Al-Nassr can push for the Saudi Pro League title in the second half of the season.
With Anderson Talisca joining Fenerbahce, they now have a slot empty for an overseas signing in their squad.

Duran, meanwhile, is due back in action for Villa in the Champions League against Celtic on Wednesday night.
