During the summer, Jhon Durán attracted interest from 40 clubs, with AC Milan specifically mentioned as one of them. Despite this widespread interest, Aston Villa's sporting director Monchi expressed that no club has more trust in Durán than Aston Villa. Unai Emery conveyed his belief that Durán has the potential to become one of the best strikers in the world. Although Durán initially wanted to leave in search of more playing time, the situation has now been resolved, and he has even reclaimed the number 9 jersey.

Jhon Duran, a Colombian striker born in 2003, has been one of the most sought-after forwards in the market for months. Aston Villa has rejected offers from at least 40 clubs, including persistent interest from Milan. The club's sporting director, Monchi, confirmed the situation, mentioning that the coach has confidence in Duran's potential to become one of the best strikers in the world within the next 12 months. Despite this, Duran is frustrated with his current playing time, which he believes is inadequate. Damian Vidagany, working alongside Monchi, noted that Duran wanted to leave the club because he desires more playing time.

The ambitious and eager to impress young forward likely views it as a major stumbling block in his development, so it comes as no surprise that his head began to turn when links to AC Milan, West Ham and Chelsea emerged during the transfer window.

Jhon Duran is another name being considered by Milan to bolster their attack.
