The most surprising aspect of this new deal is Durán's reported salary. According to the specialized sports finance website Spotrac, the Colombian forward will earn a staggering £3.9 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid Colombian footballers in the Premier League.

Jhon Durán Set to Earn More Than Díaz and Rodríguez

This hefty sum puts Durán ahead of his compatriots Luis Díaz, who plays for Liverpool, and James Rodríguez, currently at Rayo Vallecano. Díaz is said to earn £3.6 million per year, while Rodríguez's annual salary is reported to be around €3 million.

Durán's rapid rise to prominence and his subsequent lucrative contract have generated significant interest and debate. At just 20 years old, the Colombian has already established himself as one of the most promising young talents in world football.
