Jhon Duran to make '600-mile commute' to Al-Nassr after joining forces with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia - with ex-Aston Villa striker to live in different country

<p>According to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33142358/jhon-duran-commute-girlfriend-saudi-arabia-al-nassr-transfer/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>, the 21-year-old is planning to commute from Bahrain as he wants to live there instead of in Saudi Arabia. The report adds the forward will be staying more than 300 miles away from Al-Nassr, which is on the outskirts of Riyadh, and a flight will take one hour and 20 minutes from Bahrain International Airport. So Duran will have to get used to a gruelling travel schedule. </p>

Many have questioned the Colombian's desire after heading to the cash-rich but lower-in-quality Saudi Pro League at such a young age. It remains to be seen how he will fare there. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The report adds that Duran's decision to live in Bahrain has been partly influenced by confusion over whether he would be allowed to live with his girlfriend in Saudi Arabia. In the Gulf state and under Islamic law, cohabitation by unmarried couples is discouraged.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Duran will be eagerly awaiting his Al-Nassr debut, with his new team set to face Al-Wasl in the AFC Champions League on Monday evening.</p>
