Report: Barcelona, Real Madrid target Jeison Murillo

Barcelona and Real Madrid are both reportedly interested in signing Inter Milan defender Jeison Murillo in the January transfer window.

The Colombian, despite being just 23 years of age, has plenty of experience in Spanish football having represented the likes of Granada, Cadiz and Las Palmas during a well-travelled career to date.

The centre-back swapped Granada, where he spent four years, for Inter Milan in the summer and he has impressed at San Siro this season.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Barcelona and Real Madrid are both keen on bringing the defender back to Spain and are prepared to offer more than £25m to tempt Inter into a sale.

While a deal in January seems unlikely, it is understood that the two Spanish giants are prepared to wait until next summer.
