Sevilla confirm agreement with Atalanta for Muriel

Sevilla have confirmed that they’ve reached an agreement with Atalanta for Luis Muriel to return to Italy.

The striker started his career with Deportivo Cali in his native Colombia, but he moved to Italy after only 11 games. There he joined Udinese, in whose books he would be until the January of 2015, including loan spells with Granada and Lecce. Then he joined Sampdoria and stayed there until the summer of 2017, when he arrived to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. He had scored 13 goals in 65 appearances in all competitions for the Spanish club, before being loaned back to Italy, to Fiorentina, where he spent the second half of the 2018/19 season.

Sevilla took the opportunity to thank the 28-year-old for his contribution over the last two years.

Muriel had traveled with the Colombian national team for the Copa America which is being played at the moment, but he was forced to pull out of the tournament due to injury.
