The 22-year-old has already spent two years in the Premier League and impressed during his time at Aston Villa.
However, in a shock move, the Colombia international made a move to Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Nassr for a reported £64m in January last year.
The marksman does not appear to have settled in Saudi Arabia and is already out on loan at Fenerbahce in Turkey.
Leeds United ‘contacted’ over forward
Meanwhile, according to TEAMtalk, the player’s camp are working to secure a return to England for Duran.
Leeds are said to have been approached about a potential move for Duran, while there is also thought to have been contact with Tottenham and Forest.
All three clubs were also reached out to last week, the report has suggested, with a Premier League switch seemingly something Duran is keen on.
However, there are just hours left for English clubs to conduct business and it has been claimed there is a reluctant to commit among the approached outfits.
There are reportedly concerns over fitness and the timing of the development, which could potentially deny him a return to British shores.
Leeds United’s transfer market position
Leeds have spent the bulk of the window in pursuit of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, who now looks Crystal Palace-bound.
The addition of another forward would certainly be welcomed by supporters but the Whites will need to ensure they do not end up with a panic buy.
As it stands, Leeds have Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lukas Nmecha and Joel Piroe as natural options up front.
Nmecha was recently sidelined by injury and Piroe is yet to come alive in the Premier League, perhaps suggesting the Whites do indeed need another option.
Speaking after Leeds’ 4-0 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend, manager Daniel Farke said: "Our board knows exactly my feelings.
“I mentioned several times I won't speak publicly too much about my opinions because it makes the market just more difficult. Sadly, I can't answer honestly the question anyhow.
"Of course, we're always looking to improve the squad and to bring quality players in, especially on positions where we are perhaps a bit weaker anyhow.
"That's for sure, but I don't want to speak too much about this because I concentrate on the players that I have available and try to be there with the best possible decisions."
