At Fenerbahçe, Jhon Duran parted ways with the yellow-navy club by transferring to Zenit after his undisciplined and careless behavior, the unrest within the team, and the events that occurred during the match against Konyaspor.
Immediately after Youssef En-Nesyri's farewell at Fenerbahçe, Jhon Duran, whose loan contract was terminated, signed with Russia's Zenit club. The departure of the Colombian striker, who was brought into the squad with high expectations, became inevitable after the issues that arose.
THE ROAD TO RUSSIA IS OPENED
Jhon Duran, who was transferred from Saudi Arabia at the beginning of the season, quickly came to the forefront due to his off-field behavior rather than his performance. The young player's indisciplined attitude created unrest within the club, leading to his departure. After the termination of his contract, Duran transferred to Zenit.
ARROGANT AND UNWILLING ATTITUDES
According to club sources, Jhon Duran's arrogant and overly relaxed behavior caused serious discomfort within the team. His unwillingness to participate in training, especially in the last month, drew the reaction of the coaching staff. The player's decreasing interest in the field and training accelerated the process.
TENSION WITHIN THE CLUB
Duran's occasional cold and negative attitudes towards his teammates and club staff increased the unrest within the club. The continuation of these behaviors made it impossible for the player to adapt to the team.
SARAN'S EFFORTS WERE NOT ENOUGH
President Sadettin Saran made intense efforts to win over Jhon Duran, whom he believed in his talents. Saran, who solved the housing crisis the player faced upon his arrival in Turkey, tried to boost Duran's morale by meeting with him frequently. However, all attempts were in vain.
TURNING POINT: KONYASPOR MATCH
The young striker's indifferent attitudes also made head coach Domenico Tedesco give up. Especially during the Konyaspor match, the gestures he made towards his coach when he was substituted became a critical turning point in the decision to part ways.
VETO FROM THE TEAM
It was learned that a large portion of the teammates did not want Jhon Duran to remain in the team. The player, who was thought to disrupt the overall positive atmosphere, was mutually decided to part ways by the management and coaching staff.
