A striking development has occurred regarding Jhon Duran, who is on Galatasaray's transfer agenda. While it has been stated that the Colombian striker, who bid farewell to Zenit, is close to the yellow-reds, it has also been claimed that head coach Okan Buruk has a positive approach to the transfer.
Jhon Duran's name has once again come to the forefront at Galatasaray, who aim to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. While the future of the Colombian footballer, who left Zenit where he played on loan and whose registration belongs to Al-Nassr, is a subject of curiosity, it has been claimed that the yellow-reds have made significant progress in the transfer.
POSITIVE REPORT FROM OKAN BURUK
According to a report by Sabah, Galatasaray Technical Director Okan Buruk is warm to the transfer of the 22-year-old striker. It was suggested that the yellow-red management has also made significant progress in talks due to the player's readiness to take a pay cut.
LOAN FORMULA ON THE TABLE
The report stated that Galatasaray is considering the option of adding Jhon Duran to their squad on a one-year loan. Should the transfer materialize, the young player's age criterion providing an advantage in the foreign player rule was also highlighted as one of the factors strengthening the management's hand.
PLAYED 30 MATCHES LAST SEASON
Jhon Duran played for Fenerbahçe in the first half of last season and for Zenit in the second half. The 22-year-old footballer appeared in a total of 30 official matches across both teams, contributing 7 goals and 3 assists.
