Jhon Duran was on target for Aston Villa against Manchester City at the weekend and his goal helped Unai Emery’s side to a 2-1 victory.
The Colombian’s strike came amidst talk of a potential exit from Villa Park as last week it was stated that Napoli had made contact with the striker’s entourage about a potential move.
The talk regarding Napoli’s interest in Duran has not gone away. Il Mattino today report on the Italian club’s first offer for the 21-year-old.
They state that Napoli’s first offer was €35m and was rejected. Despite that, the Naples club aren’t prepared to stop and have sent across ‘signals’ to Birmingham that a second offer of €40m will be made soon.
The newspaper explains how much Napoli earn from Victor Osimhen’s sale will determine how much money Antonio Conte’s side can spend on Duran.
The Italian side are in constant and ‘frenetic’ telephonic contact with Aston Villa about the Colombia international, who has scored seven times in the Premier League this season.
