Jhon Durán is currently in the United States concentrated with the Colombian National Team and waiting to earn his place in the Copa América 2024. But that is not an impediment for his name to be heard and heard in the best leagues in the world, facing what will be the next season.
For this reason, once again from Italy the Antioquia striker occupies space in the press of that country and all because he is in the ‘folder’ of a team that will play in the Champions League in the 2024/25 campaign.
In a note from ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ about the names that Bologna is considering, that of Jhon Durán appeared, who if this move were to take place would be a partner of another Colombian who is a key player in said team, which is Jhon Janer Lucumí.
The red and blue cast is in search of a new striker to face the double competition next season, in Serie A and the Champions League.
“The name surrounded is that of Vangelis Pavlidis, a forward on the book for months and for whom numerous teams in Italy and Europe have moved. The value is high, about 18 million, but the player’s potential is now evident and expressed. Next to him, there is also Strand Larsen (Celta de Vigo). But also in the last few hours, Jhon Durán appears, a Colombian who found little playing time and little fortune at Aston Villa,” reported in the aforementioned medium.

And the Paisa attacker is not a starter in the English team, since above him is Ollie Watkins, but despite that in the little playing time that coach Unai Emery gave him, Durán responded with class, scoring several important goals in the Conference League and of course in the Premier League, where he was reported scoring against important clubs such as Manchester City and Liverpool.
The truth is that despite the few minutes at Aston Villa, Jhon Durán convinced the Argentine coach Néstor Lorenzo who called him for the preparatory matches against the United States and Bolivia, and waiting to see if he will be included in the final list for the Cup America 2024.
In fact, the young player played a few minutes in the ‘tricolor”s emphatic 5-1 victory against the North American team last Saturday.
In which teams has Jhon Durán played?
Despite his young age, the Colombian striker has already played for three teams: he started at Envigado, where he stood out and there he was signed by the Chicago Fire of the MLS. But since 2023 he arrived at Aston Villa, in England, where he currently plays.
