Murillo 'fulfilling a dream' with Barcelona move

Jeison Murillo says he is fulfilling a dream by joining Barcelona from Valencia.

The 26-year-old will move to the LaLiga leaders on a loan deal until the end of the season, which includes a purchase option of €25million.

Having made only three appearances for Valencia in 2018-19, Murillo is thrilled to move to Camp Nou, having promised himself he would one day wear the club's famous colours.

"Two years ago, I said that I would wear Barcelona's shirt one day," he told Catalunya Radio show Tot Costa.

"I've fulfilled a dream and I come with the intention of helping the team as much as possible.

"I will try to enjoy this moment and I hope that everything works out well."
