Barcelona have announced the signing of Valencia defender Jeison Murillo on loan for the rest of the season, with the option to make it permanent for £22.6m.
The 26-year-old Colombia international joined Valencia on a permanent deal in the summer following a season-long loan spell from Inter Milan.
However he has only played three times all season for Marcelino’s side – with his sole La Liga game in September.
He has previously played for Granada, Cadiz and Las Palmas in Spain.
Murillo will be officially presented as a Barca player on Thursday, 27 December – and should be able to feature for them once the January transfer window opens.
