Jhon Durán, born on 13 December 2003 (age 22), is a Colombian striker with Benfica. He is valued at around £30m by Transfermarkt, which tells its own story about the level of expectation around him.
His most productive league campaign came in 2022 with Chicago Fire, where he scored eight goals in 27 appearances. That was the season that gave his career a firmer shape, rather than just the usual promise attached to a young forward with pace and size.
At Benfica in 2026–27, Durán has made eight Liga Portugal appearances and scored one goal. In Europe, he has added one goal in four Europa League qualifiers and two goals in two Europa League appearances. Across all competitions for the club, he has 14 appearances and four goals.
Durán’s career is still being built rather than assessed in full. From Chicago Fire to Benfica, he has moved quickly into more demanding football, with enough goals along the way to keep the interest justified.
