Once again Jhon Jader Durán is news in a transfer market. After six months at Fenerbahce in Türkiye, The Colombian would change clubs againthis according to what Fabrizio Romano said a few days ago.
Since this news was known, there was talk that Jhon Jader was on the radar of several teams in Europe and specifically some from Serie Ait was even discussed in a formal proposal by Juventus Turin.
Despite this rumor that linked Durán with the Italian giant, today it was learned that Lille of France would have advanced the process to achieve the signing of the Colombian attacker. Operation that they would have already accepted in Fenerbahce to end the player’s session early.
Jhon Jader, a necessity for Lille
Lille urgently needs a center forward, which is why could decide Jhon Jáder’s destiny towards French football. This is because Moroccan Hamza Igamane suffered a ligament injury playing for his team in the most recent African Cup of Nations, and will be out of the field for a considerable time.
The Moroccan striker has already undergone knee surgery and recently the same player reported through his Instagram account the success of the surgical procedure. Now, he begins the race against time to be in the World Cup, but at the club level he will not compete again this season.
The other center forward that Lille has is Olivier Giroud, player with a long history in European football, belonging to the French national team on several occasions and even being part of the squad that became world champion in 2018.
Analyzing the approach used by Bruno Génésio, technical director of Lille, You can see that in most cases he uses a single player at the top (Which is generally Giroud) and that on occasions when there are two men up front, he is helped by the Belgian-Spanish winger Matías Fernández. The Moroccan Igamane usually enters in the second half or when the coach sees it necessary.
If Jhon Jader is signed, The Colombian will have to fight for the position with Olivier Giroud, but also with the possibility of integrating an offensive duo with him. The age factor would be decisive and in this Durán would have an advantage as he is 22 years old, while the Frenchman is 39.
