Laut einem Bericht hat Lazio Duran im Visier, ist aber von der Idee nicht begeistert.

Turkish reports claim that Lazio have made several proposals for Colombia and Al-Nassr striker Jhon Duran, but he is not encouraging.

The 22-year-old has had a rather strange career path, going from Aston Villa to Al-Nassr at a huge fee of €77m, then with loan experiences at Fenerbahce and Zenit St. Petersburg.

He remains under contract with the Saudi side until June 2030, so another loan is entirely possible for Lazio.

Duran not eager for Lazio

According to Fanatik in Turkiye, Lazio made several attempts to contact the player and make their proposal, but his response to all of them was far from positive.

The club just announced today that their new coach is former Italy CT Gennaro Gattuso, who is eager to revamp the side inherited from Maurizio Sarri.

Duran has instead repeatedly been linked with a return to the Turkish Super Lig for Galatasaray.

A major problem for the player might be that Lazio failed to qualify for European football for the second season in a row, so will only be participating in Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

There is also the Supercoppa Italiana Final Four, after they lost the Coppa Italia Final to Inter last term.
