Valencia signs Jeison Murillo for the new season

Valencia has just completed the signing of Jeison Murillo, one of their biggest desires to strengthen their squad for the new season. This is an excellent defensive signing for Mestalla, as the player arrives from Inter Milan and is 25 years old.

Murillo has already shown great qualities during his previous spell in La Liga, when he played for Granada. As an international player for Colombia, he will bring solidity and strength to a defensive line that has been one of the weaknesses of the club in recent seasons, not being able to maintain the consistency of the past.

Murillo returns to Spain, where he previously played for Cádiz and UD Las Palmas, after spending two seasons in Italy. During his time there, he played 38 and 37 matches respectively.

"Valencia CF has reached an agreement with FC Internazionale Milano for the two-season loan with an obligatory purchase option for Colombian international center-back Jeison Murillo," highlights a brief statement published on their website.
