  Per Ben Jacobs, PSG are interested in a deal to sign Duran from Villa, but their pursuit is complicated by the English club's asking price. Villa are supposedly keen to receive around £80 million ($97m) for the striker. As a result, the Ligue 1 giants are considering utilising either Marco Asensio or Randal Kolo Muani, who has also been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham, as makeweights.
