Even though manager Mauricio Pochettino has departed, the club's strategy on spending will not change very much.
Duran, who is only 20, is said to want to make the move as he believes he can play on the biggest stage.

Per The Sun, Duran's agent Jonathan Herrera revealed: The interest has always been there.
"The situation with Pochettino shouldn't affect anything, the one who wants him is the club.
We will see what happens, but there has always been interest.
"Let's see how we can handle it and make sure Aston Villa are ready.
Now the market is opening up, the club is looking at some options and so are we."
