The 21-year-old Colombian striker was the star of Fenerbahce's 4-0 win over Al-Ittihad, scoring a brace in his first appearance for Fenerbahce since joining the Turkish club on loan this summer.

After a promising start with a brace in a friendly, Duran faced criticism from Mourinho for missing Fenerbahce’s first training session in Portugal. However, Duran quickly settled in, showing that the club’s leadership had deserved their trust in him.

Fenerbahce finished second in the Turkish Super Lig last season, marking their fourth consecutive runners-up finish. Mourinho's side are desperate for more firepower to challenge Galatasaray for the title, and Duran is expected to make the difference.

Last season, Duran scored 12 goals in 18 appearances for Al Nassr, which is not a bad result. However, according to the Saudi Arabian media, this striker is having some problems adapting to the playing environment in this country, affecting his spirit and stability on the field.

Therefore, after only 6 months of arriving at Al Nassr as the most expensive contract in Saudi Arabian football history, Duran said goodbye temporarily to join Fenerbahce on loan.

Mourinho, renowned for his ability to revive lost talent, is believed to have been the driving force behind the deal. Fenerbahce will use Duran for both their UEFA Champions League campaign from the third qualifying round and their aim to topple Galatasaray in the Süper Lig next season.
