Colombian forward Jhon Durán has completed a loan move to Turkish giants Fenerbahçe from Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, with all parties confirming the deal ahead of the 2025-26 season . Al-Nassr will fully cover Durán’s salary throughout the loan period, which runs until June 2026, allowing the 21-year-old to seek regular playing time in a competitive European league .
Transfer Details and Motivations
Durán, who joined Al-Nassr from Aston Villa in January 2025 for a reported €77 million base fee (plus potential bonuses) , struggled to establish himself in Riyadh amid intense attacking competition. With Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, and Luiz Gustavo ahead of him in the pecking order, he made 18 appearances (17 starts) for Al-Nassr last season, scoring 12 goals across all competitions—including 8 goals in 13 league matches . The loan move provides a crucial opportunity for the former Colombian U-20 international to rebuild momentum ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
