Football/Barcelona sets sights on rising star Jhon Durán as Lewandowski’s successor
As the season unfolds, FC Barcelona has turned its attention to Jhon Durán, the Colombian striker making waves in the Premier League with Aston Villa.
With an impressive tally of four goals in five matches—each scored after coming off the bench—Durán is quickly becoming a prime candidate to fill the shoes of veteran striker Robert Lewandowski.
Durán’s recent performance, highlighted by a stunning goal against Everton, has significantly boosted his profile.
According to El Nacional de Cataluña, Deco, the Blaugrana’s sporting director, is already laying the groundwork for a potential transfer, signaling Barcelona’s serious interest in the 20-year-old talent.
Currently, Durán boasts a remarkable scoring rate, finding the net once every 33 minutes this season. His rapid ascent has caught the eye of multiple European clubs, but Aston Villa remains firm in its intentions to retain the young forward.
The English side is unlikely to entertain offers unless they meet their financial expectations.
For Barcelona, securing Durán would require a significant investment, and the coming weeks will reveal whether they are willing to make that commitment.
As the transfer window approaches, all attention will be on how this potential deal unfolds and what it could mean for the future of the Catalan club.
