The Colombian player Jhon Duran, whose name has been seriously linked with the Süper Lig giant Galatasaray for a long time, has found his new destination.
REACHED AN AGREEMENT WITH BENFICA
According to the news from A Bola; Benfica has added Jhon Duran, who wears the Al Nassr jersey, to their squad. It was stated that the Portuguese club will loan the star player for 1 year.
SALARY DETAIL DREW ATTENTION
An important detail stood out in the agreement made with Benfica for Duran, who has a contract with Al Nassr until 2030 and receives an astronomical annual fee of approximately 20 million Euros from the Saudi Arabian club. According to the loan agreement, Al Nassr club will still cover a very large portion of the player's high salary.
PREVIOUSLY VETOED
It was reported that Jhon Duran was also on the radar of the Portuguese giant during past transfer periods, but the technical director Roger Schmidt, who was coaching Benfica at that time, did not approve this transfer and turned to different names.
WENT FROM FENERBAHÇE TO ZENIT
Duran, who spent the first half of the 2025/26 season on loan at Fenerbahçe, and then was loaned to the Russian club Zenit during the winter transfer period, is now preparing to appear in the Portuguese League with the Benfica jersey.
