Real readying bid for Jheison Murillo

Real Madrid are weighing up January move for Inter Milan defender Jheison Murillo, according to Don Balon.

Los Blancos plan to rejuvenate their back line in the near future seeing that neither Pepe nor Sergio Ramos are getting any younger.

Don Balon has suggested that Inter Milan stopper Jheison Murillo has emerged as their primary target, with a €35 million bid being mooted.

After making a name for himself at Granada, the 23-year-old joined the Nerazzurri in the summer and in turn enjoyed a bright start to his career in Italy.

Murillo started 12 Serie A fixtures this term, helping the team keep no fewer than eight clean sheets in the process, with Inter Milan currently sitting at the top of the league.

The talented centre-back also nailed down a regular starting berth in the national team, spending every minute on the pitch during Colombia’s current 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.
