Official! Benfica unveil Jhon Durán: all the details | OneFootball

Benfica officially announced the signing of Jhon Durán for Marco Silva’s squad this Monday, July 20. The 22-year-old Colombian forward arrives at the Luz on loan from Al Nassr until the end of the 2026/27 season and will wear the number 22 shirt.

According to the statement sent by the club’s SAD to the CMVM, the deal represents a total cost of 6.1 million euros. The amount includes the loan fee, the player’s gross wages, sports insurance, social security, the solidarity mechanism, and intermediary costs.

The agreement between Benfica and Al Nassr also includes a purchase option for a fixed fee of 30 million euros. If it decides to trigger that clause at the end of the season, the Luz club will be able to permanently secure the Colombian international’s sporting rights.

If the purchase option is not exercised, the club’s SAD retains the right of first refusal on a new loan deal for Jhon Durán for the 2027/28 season. Al Nassr has also officially confirmed the striker’s loan move to the Portuguese club.

Jhon Durán therefore becomes another attacking option under Marco Silva. The player is looking to revive his career in European football, while Benfica secure a striker with the possibility of a permanent stay upon payment of the agreed 30 million euros.
