Last January, the Al Nasr caused a global feeling by acquiring him John Duran by Aston Villa against 77 million euros! The 21 -year -old Colombian, in fact, rejected proposals from Europe to move to the Persian Gulf and was the largest transfer of the winter bazaar.
But the fairy tale in Saudi Arabia was very short. Five months later, Duran is preparing … suitcases for his return to Old Epirus, with Fenerbahce be very close to bringing him back to Europe in the form of a loan, as the Fabrizio Romano, And Al Nasr does not seem to be worried at all. On the contrary, he appears positive in his departure as he aims to replace him with Victor Bonfis.
The most impressive? The young forward caught up in just 22 weeks to “fill” his accounts with More than 8.6 million eurosthanks to his astronomical weekly contract reaching 392,500 euros. A five -year “gold” contract, but it turned out to be … five months.
Duran’s example reinforces a new trend in world football, with players going to the Middle East for a “tourism of millions” and soon returning to Europe, having already secured their future.
