Beşiktaş in talks to sign Marseille’s Michael Murillo | OneFootball

In the dying hours of the January transfer window, Michael Murillo (29) was rather suddenly shown the exit door by Olympique de Marseille. Demoted to the reserves, he has been invited to find a new club, but that invitation came so late in the window that there was not sufficient time to complete a move away from the Vélodrome.

However, the transfer window is not shut everywhere and that could provide an opportunity for Murillo, who will be desperate to play minutes ahead of the FIFA World Cup, where he will represent Panama, as he did back in 2018. 

The transfer window in Turkey, most notably, is still open and Beşiktaş have shown an interest in the versatile defender, according to a report from L’Équipe. There are talks ongoing between the clubs over a deal worth between €4-6m. Should he join, Murillo would sign a three-and-a-half-year deal with Beşiktaş. The transfer window in Turkey closes on Friday.
