Beşiktaş strike agreement to sign Marseille’s Michael Amir Murillo | OneFootball

Beşiktaş have struck an agreement with Olympique de Marseille to sign defender Michael Amir Murillo (29), according to a report from Foot Mercato.

In the dying hours of the January transfer window, Murillo was rather suddenly shown the exit door by 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 looks to have provided 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. 

With the transfer window in Turkey closing on Friday, the Panama international is on the move. Foot Mercato understands that an agreement has been struck between OM and Beşiktaş for a transfer worth €6m, including bonuses.
