A surprising development has emerged in the winter transfer window, with Aston Villa striker John Duran turning down a move to Real Madrid.
The Spanish club had shown interest in signing the Colombian forward, potentially involving Brazilian prodigy Endrick Felipe in the deal. However, Duran has rejected the move in favor of a possible transfer to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nasr.
According to transfer expert Rudy Galetti, Duran’s decision was strongly influenced by his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Colombian forward has expressed a deep desire to play alongside the legendary player, citing him as a major inspiration.
This has led Duran to prioritize a move to Al-Nasr, where Ronaldo currently plays, over offers from other top clubs like Paris Saint-Germain.
While no official offers have been made yet, Duran’s preference for Al-Nasr could significantly impact the club’s pursuit of the striker.
