Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran remains a target for Chelsea despite the departure of Mauricio Pochettino. Duran’s agent, Jonathan Herrera, confirmed the Blues’ ongoing interest and expressed hope that Villa would be ready to negotiate.
The 20-year-old Colombian has shown his admiration for Chelsea on social media and was previously sought by the club on loan in January. Villa manager Unai Emery wants Duran to stay, but financial considerations might prompt a sale. Herrera stated, “The interest has always been there. The situation with Pochettino shouldn’t affect anything; it’s the club that wants him.” Duran, who started only three Premier League games last season, grew frustrated with limited playtime but impressed by scoring two late goals in a 3-3 draw against Liverpool.
Duran’s future remains uncertain as the market opens, with both Villa and Chelsea evaluating their options. Herrera added, “He has a contract with Aston Villa, and the coach counts on him, but we know he wants to play, and we will see what happens.”
