Man United turned down signing Duran. The reason has been revealed
Manchester United are actively searching for a new striker in the summer transfer window. The club is considering various candidates, but not everyone fits the requirements of Ruben Amorim and his team.
Details: According to teamTALK, Old Trafford had considered a loan move for Al-Nassr forward Jhon Duran. In the end, the Colombian will not be joining Manchester United, but the decision wasn't based on sporting reasons.
The main issue was that Duran wanted to receive the same salary at Old Trafford as he does at Al-Nassr—£300,000 per week. The club was unwilling to meet those wage demands, leading them to walk away from the deal.
Reminder: As a result, Duran is now close to a loan move to Fenerbahce, who have agreed to meet the Colombian striker's salary demands, while Manchester United remain focused on permanent rather than temporary signings. Among their targets: Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo.
