The Colombian defender has not been used much this season and Barca need backup
Valencia defender Jeison Murillo is a step away from being loaned to Barcelona. Superdeporte, the local newspaper, said the player did not take part in training at Paterna, because he is negotiating a possible exit from the club in the winter window.
Per the info from the east coast city, the deal is already done between Valencia and Barca, a loan until the end of the season.
The player’s agent Rocco Dozzini is the one who is putting the final details on the operation, after the Colombian rejected offers from Turkey and Italy among others.
Murillo, who has played just three games this season under Marcelino, two in La Liga and one in the Champions League, can be registered in Europe for Barca thanks to new ruled in that competition.
