Jhon Duran, who was loaned to Fenerbahçe at the beginning of the season, had a 6-month career with the yellow-navy team. Duran scored 5 goals for Fenerbahçe and managed to find the net in the derbies against Beşiktaş and Galatasaray.

Fenerbahçe parted ways with Colombian forward Jhon Duran by mutually agreeing to terminate his contract. The 22-year-old player has signed with Russian club Zenit. Duran, who joined Fenerbahçe on loan from Al Nassr at the beginning of the season, struggled to get consistent playing time due to injuries and the coaching staff's preferences. He celebrated his first goal in front of the fans while wearing the yellow and navy jersey against Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round second leg. Duran, who started in the first 11 in the first 2 weeks of the Trendyol Super League, was sidelined for a while due to his injury.

SCORED IN DERBIES

Duran, who was injured and left the field during the second match of the UEFA Champions League playoff round against Benfica, missed a total of 9 matches in the league and Europe. He played in the final minutes of the Stuttgart match on October 23. Returning to the league with the Beşiktaş derby played on November 2, Jhon Duran scored the winning goal in the 83rd minute of the match he entered as a substitute. Starting in the first 11 against Çaykur Rizespor and providing 1 assist, Duran again started on the bench in the Galatasaray derby played on December 1 and scored in the 90th minute.
