Fabrizio Romano has clarified speculation on whether Barcelona are actively working to sign remarkable Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran, after claims Deco picked up the phone to discuss a transfer to Spain.
Duran has made a remarkable start to the season for Villa. He has bagged five goals in seven appearances this season four of those goals coming from the bench.
Of his nine Premier League goals for Villa, eight have come from the bench. He is cultivating a reputation as a super sub, and some big sides have apparently taken notice.
In recent days, it was reported in Spain that Barcelona director Deco had picked up the phone to Villa to discuss a transfer next summer.
But transfer insider Romano has quashed rumours that Barca are working on a transfer.
Barca are not actively working on a deal for Jhon Duran now, absolutely. All the rest is speculation. We will see in summer 2025 but mentioning this story now it s completely not true in the sense that Barca are not having contacts for this deal, .
Several Premier League clubs are monitoring his growth and in the summer Chelsea and then West Ham wanted him, but now he s doing great for Villa so it s a completely different story.

It is not clear who the Premier League sides who want Duran are, but he could surely do a job for most, evidenced by his current form for Villa.
