The Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has requested the club's board to bring in a new forward in this winter transfer window, and Jhon Durán, a forward from Aston Villa, has become one of the main targets. With the team going through a inconsistent period that has impacted their promising start to the season, the coach believes that the arrival of a goal scorer could be key to revitalizing the team's performance.
Currently, Nicolas Jackson is the main attacking reference for the Blues, but there is a perception within the club that he has not yet reached the level of an elite striker. Faced with this situation, the leadership has been exploring various alternatives, and Durán appears as a viable option, as Aston Villa would be willing to negotiate his departure for a sum close to 80 million pounds.
Enzo Maresca wants Durán in exchange for Joao Félix
The deal could be facilitated due to Birmingham's interest in João Félix, opening up the possibility of parallel agreements between the two clubs. Additionally, the 21-year-old Colombian is excited about the idea of joining a team that competes regularly in European football's elite and sees becoming a starter at Stamford Bridge in a positive light.
However, Chelsea is not alone in the race for Durán, who is valued at 80 million euros. Arsenal is also looking to strengthen its attack and has shown interest in the forward, which could complicate the Blues' aspirations in this market.
