PSG Set to Approach Aston Villa for €60M-Rated Ace in Cash-Plus-Player Swap Deal | OneFootball

Over the summer, Paris Saint-Germain explored several options to bolster their attack for the 2024-25 season, with Aston Villa’s Jhon Durán emerging as a potential target.

In October, Eduardo Burgos of Diario AS reported that both Bayern Munich and PSG made offers for Durán during the summer transfer window, but Aston Villa rejected them. Manager Unai Emery sees the 21-year-old forward as a key player for the future.

Recently, Fichajes highlighted that PSG still considers Durán a crucial long-term investment to strengthen their attacking options. However, Aston Villa remains unwilling to part with one of their top prospects.

The Premier League club sees significant potential in Durán and is uninterested in a straightforward swap involving Randal Kolo Muani. PSG may need to offer additional financial incentives to advance talks, but no deal has been finalized.

Football Insider reported on Saturday, citing sources, that PSG are preparing to enter talks with Aston Villa regarding a potential blockbuster cash-plus-player swap deal involving Randal Kolo Muani and Durán.

Fichajes reported last month, citing sources close to the Parisian club, that the Ligue 1 side would be willing to present an initial offer of €60 million to begin negotiations with Aston Villa.

AreaNapoli.it also reported recently that PSG are said to be offering the Premier League attacker a salary of €7 million to €8 million per year if he decides to leave Unai Emery’s team and join them.

Luis Enrique is focused on reshaping PSG’s attack and has identified Durán as a target while planning to move on from Kolo Muani.
