Benfica has secured Colombian striker Jhon Durán on a season-long loan from Al-Nassr, with an option to make the transfer permanent for the 2026-27 season. The 22-year-old forward, who has played for seven clubs across multiple countries, expressed his dream of joining Portugal's biggest club, aiming to score goals and win titles. This move offers Durán a crucial opportunity to gain continuity after a career marked by frequent transfers, including spells in Major League Soccer, the Premier League, and Russia.

Benfica is betting on his pace and physical strength to bolster their attack for the Primeira Liga, domestic cups, and the UEFA Champions League. Durán joins fellow Colombian Richard Rios at the Lisbon club, hoping to establish a starting spot and define his future at a top European side.
