Al-Nassr Signs Jhon Durán, Pursues Mitoma

Jhon Durán has transferred from Aston Villa to Al-Nassr for up to £71 million, marking a significant profit for Villa, who initially acquired him for £18 million from Chicago Fire. Durán joins Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, while the club is also attempting to secure Kaoru Mitoma from Brighton. Despite offering up to £75 million, Brighton has rejected Al-Nassr's bids for Mitoma, who remains under contract until 2027 and is not interested in a move to Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr's interest in Mitoma highlights their strategy to strengthen their wing options, but Brighton is reluctant to lose a key player. Meanwhile, Neymar has returned to Santos, leaving another Saudi Arabian club. Al-Nassr's pursuit of Premier League talent underscores the Saudi Pro League's growing influence and financial power in global football.
