In a fresh transfer development, renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Chelsea has shown a keen interest in Aston Villa’s talented forward, Jhon Duran. The Blues, who are looking to bolster their attacking options, have identified Duran as a potential target for the upcoming transfer window.

According to Romano, Aston Villa is open to negotiating the sale of the 20-year-old Colombian striker but has set a price tag of around £40 million. The final amount may vary depending on Chelsea’s approach and negotiations.

Duran, who joined Aston Villa last year, has impressed with his performances, catching the attention of several top clubs across Europe. His agility, goal-scoring prowess, and ability to link up play have made him a standout performer in the Premier League, despite his relatively young age.

Chelsea’s interest in Duran aligns with their strategy of investing in young talent to build a formidable squad for the future. The Blues are looking to add depth to their attacking lineup and see Duran as a valuable addition who can contribute immediately while also having significant potential for development.

The transfer market is heating up, and with Chelsea’s strong interest, the coming weeks could see significant movements. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if the Blues can secure Duran’s signature and further strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
