Jhon Durán, born on 13 December 2003 (age 22), is a Colombian striker with Benfica. His market value is around £30m, according to Transfermarkt, which says enough about the level of interest around him without requiring much embroidery.
His most productive league season came in 2022 with Chicago Fire, when he scored eight goals in 27 appearances. That spell gave his career a clear lift, with his penalty-box work and physical edge making him more than just another young forward being talked up ahead of schedule.
At Benfica in 2026-27, Durán has made nine appearances in all competitions and scored two goals. That includes five Liga Portugal appearances with one goal, plus four in Europa League qualifying with one more. His form this season has been solid, though he has been out of the matchday squad in recent weeks; his latest appearance came in Benfica’s 3-1 win away to AGF on 27 August 2026.
Durán’s career so far has moved from a productive spell in MLS to a prominent European club, with Benfica now the setting for the next stage of his development.
