These final days of the winter transfer market are expected to be busy. The starting signal is given Khvicha Kvaratskhelia signing for him Paris Saint-Germain in exchange for 70 million euros and it was followed by City of Manchester announcing the arrival of Khusanovfor 40 more purposes for Lens.
A surprising case is that this window in the Premier League, which is used to always open to tap money, so far there have been no big expenditures. But there are teams that need important numbers and one of them is the West Hamwhich is having a very difficult first round and is far from expected.
So much that it is worth Julen Lopetegui his position on the bench a few weeks ago, there is a change for the beginning of this 2025 with Graham Potterwho although the date had passed came with a letter from the Three Wise Men under his arm.
The big bet is John Duran (21 years old), one of the revelation players of this season. So much so, as if West Ham The Colombian lost his head and offered nothing less than 67 million euros, According to the Daily Mail, in a Aston Villa of Unai Emery who is expected to reject the offer, as he has no interest in getting rid of Durán as he fights to re-enter Europe.
The thing is that John In the summer, he wanted to leave Aston Villa and sign for none other than West Ham. He made it clear on his social networks, but nothing was agreed upon then. And now the situation is more complicated, because the Colombian has increased in stature. He became a starter and scored 12 goals, each one more spectacular, which is still the one with the most, above Ollie Watkins.
It does not provide West Ham with the key to their going forward. This summer they signed Niklas Füllkrugfrom Borussia Dortmund where he played in the finals of the Champions League, but did not offer what was expected. So far, the German has been injured, such as Michael Antonio after suffering a car accident, and the club needs a guarantee reference, but Aston Villa value Durán at 95 ‘kilos’a figure beyond the reach of Londoners.
