On May 22nd, Jhon Durán’s agent Jonathan Herrera said that Chelsea are interested in the Aston Villa player. He had also stated that a potential deal wouldn’t depend on Mauricio Pochettino’s future.
Since then, the Blues have parted ways with Pochettino and appointed Enzo Maresca as their new manager.
On May 23rd, Canal RCN explained that the Chelsea target’s future will be clarified in the next few weeks.
Chelsea have taken concrete steps in their pursuit of the striker, according to Colombian journalist Guillermo Arango.
He took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to state that the west London club have an agreement in place with the Villans for a fee close to €50m.
Arango adds Chelsea are negotiating personal terms with the 20-year-old. If the parties were to come to an agreement, then the Colombia international would move to Stamford Bridge.
The South American arrived at Villa Park from MLS side Chicago Fire in January 2023, and since then he clocked in 1,221 minutes from 49 games for Unai Emery’s side, scoring eight goals in the process.
