Villa clearly have no intention of giving Duran the green light to leave in January, with the 21-year-old also recently putting pen to paper on a contract extension following his sensational start to Premier League campaign.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr are emerging as very serious contenders for Duran’s signature as we enter the final stages of this January window, with the Saudi Pro League side apparently considering a winter bid.
Broadcasting giant talkSPORT supports other reports of Al Nassr’s interest in Duran, with Villa apparently open to a bid from the Middle East. However, Emery’s side are very willing to play hard and could demand more 85 million pounds to let him go.
Other suitors are starting to join the potential auction, with one of Duran’s landing spots being PSG, who are ready to push the boat out.
PSG are ready to offer Asensio in a bid to sign Duran from Aston Villa
According to CaughtOffside, Enrique and co could give Villa the chance to sign out of grace £236,000-a-week forward Marco Asensio.
The former Real Madrid ace joined PSG on a free transfer from La Liga in 2023 but has since been pushed to the sidelines of Enrique’s plans. They could now use his situation as an opportunity to land Duran, as PSG are planning an intriguing proposal.
It is believed PSG are ready to offer Villa the chance to sign Asensio in a part-exchange bid for Duran. In terms of cash, the most PSG are currently willing to fork out for is £59m, which is nowhere near enough and just £2m more than West Ham’s rejected approach, so they could use Asensio as a sweetener in the deal.
It adds that they will put Villa under heavy pressure to sell Duran in the final days of the window, so it seems PSG are very keen to beat Al-Nassr to his signature.
