A club's football director has flown to meet Jhon Duran over a stunning deal to bring him back to Europe following his transfer to Al Nassr.

Duran joined Al Nassr from Aston Villa in a deal worth up to £71 million last January.

He penned a hugely lucrative contract worth a whopping £16.7 million per year, which equates to around £46,000-a-day.

But just five months after signing for the Saudi Pro League side, he has been linked with a move away from the Middle East.

Fenerbahce are interested in signing Duran this summer and have tabled a hefty loan offer of £13.7 million for the 2025/26 campaign.

That fee includes his full annual wage, according to Haber Global journalist Sercan Hamzaoglu, who claims the player is expected to make a decision shortly.

In a bid to accelerate the deal, Fenerbahce's football director Devin Ozek has travelled to Colombia to meet Duran to persuade him to accept their proposal.

According to Turkish journalist Yagız Sabuncuoglu, Ozek is hoping to strike a deal with the 21-year-old by personally meeting him.

Fenerbahce are currently managed by former Premier League boss Jose Mourinho, who hopes to call upon Duran's services next season.

Fenerbahce aren't the only club keeping tabs on his situation, with Al Nassr open to sanctioning a sale, according to TEAMtalk.

West Ham United, who had a £57 million bid rejected before his Al Nassr transfer, are among six Premier League sides monitoring Duran this summer.

The Hammers are thought to view the star forward as a potentially 'valuable addition to their attacking ranks' and a player who could add 'energy and goal-scoring instinct' to their squad.

Wolves and Fulham as well as three unnamed English clubs are also in the mix.

Duran has scored 12 goals in 18 games across all competitions since signing for Al Nassr.
