A deal has been confirmed by Valencia on Thursday evening.

Murillo will join when the transfer window opens in January. The centre-back, 26, has made just one LaLiga appearance so far this season.

With Thomas Vermaelen injured and no return date set for Samuel Umtiti, the reigning LaLiga champions decided they had to sign a centre-back.
