Liverpool 'makes concrete move for $21m-rated Chicago Fire forward Jhon Duran... but Benfica, Aston Villa and Fulham could also enter the race' for the 19-year-old Colombia international

Liverpool have made a 'concrete move' for MLS starlet Jhon Duran but face extensive competition to secure his signing, according to reports.

Duran joined the Chicago Fire less than a year ago but quickly made an impression in MLS, scoring eight goals and registering three assists in just 14 starts.

And the 19-year-old Colombian could now be set for another switch after leaving Envigado earlier this year.
