A surprising turn of events has unfolded in the winter transfer window, as Aston Villa striker John Duran has rejected a move to Real Madrid. The Spanish giants were reportedly keen on signing the Colombian forward, with a potential deal involving Brazilian wonderkid Endrick Felipe as part of the arrangement. However, Duran has firmly turned down the move, opting instead to pursue a potential transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nasr.
Transfer expert Rudy Galetti revealed that Duran’s decision was heavily influenced by his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo. Duran has expressed a strong desire to play alongside the legendary forward, citing him as a personal inspiration. This eagerness to join Al-Nasr, where Ronaldo currently plays, has led the Colombian striker to favor a move to the Saudi Pro League, despite interest from other top clubs like Paris Saint-Germain.
As of now, no official offers have been made, but Duran’s preference for Al-Nasr could play a pivotal role in the club’s pursuit of the striker.
