Colombian international striker Jhon Durán has joined Portuguese club Benfica on loan from Al Nassr. This marks the seventh club of the 22-year-old's career. The initial loan fee is €6.1 million, with an option to buy for €30 million.

Durán has previously played in the Premier League, MLS, Saudi Pro League, Turkish Süper Lig, and Russian Premier League. He began his career at Envigado in Colombia before moving to MLS side Chicago Fire in 2022. In 2023, he joined Aston Villa, famously scoring a Champions League winner against Bayern Munich.
