Klopp furious they're about to snatch Luis Diaz's replacement signing

While Jhon Jader Duran trains with the Colombia national team ahead of the South American U20 Championship in January, a rumour has become more solidly linked with a move to Portugal's Benfica for the winter transfer window in Europe. The Colombian appeared on the front page of the daily 'Record' where they explain that DT Roger Schmidt wants him in his team: "Jhon Jader Durán for now! Benfica want the 19-year-old Colombian international in January. Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are also looking for him".

Durán has a contract until December 2024 and is also in the plans of English clubs. However, Chicago Fire do not yet have a concrete offer on the table for the Colombian attacker's possible departure. "Jhon Durán is a target for Benfica's attack. The 19-year-old Colombian international is seen as a gamble for the future and the idea is to sign him in the January transfer window. Benfica are interested in 19-year-old Colombian striker Jhon Durán, who has been making waves at Chicago Fire," added the newspaper about the young player, who has already been called up to the senior squad with Néstor Lorenzo.

In 2022, Durán played 30 games in MLS 30, scoring 8 goals and providing 6 assists. In the last few hours, the image of Jhon Jáder Durán has taken a lot of prominence. The 19 year old Chicago Fire striker is on the front page of Portuguese sports newspapers, which say, "Durán, stop it now".

According to journalist Mauricio Luna, "the eagles of Sporting Benfica want to secure the signing of striker Jhon Jáder Durán (19 years old) in January". He also emphasises that if they are interested in the Portuguese club, they should speed up the process, as the youngster is also on the radar of big English clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Jhon Jáder Durán is a gamble for the future and is undoubtedly a jewel for the coming years. His value is not much, as he is valued at 10 million euros, easy for English clubs who have specialised in spending millions more on other youngsters like Antony at Manchester United and the crazy Manchester City club who want to shell out a lot of money for World Cup revelations.
