Manchester United are reportedly interested in the Colombian international Jeison Murillo. The Inter Milan defender has been drawing the attention from the biggest European clubs, Colombia.com reports.

Murillo is currently in Colombia with the national team, as he prepares for the World Cup qualifier match against Ecuador tonight. The defender is a regular starter for the national team and became an important part of Inter’s squad in his first season, something well highlighted in the article.

According to Colombia.com, Murillo was a personal ask from José Mourinho for his arrival at Old Trafford, and Manchester United are prepared to spend up to €35m on the defender, Bayern Munich would also be interested.

Manchester United’s approach for Murilo was reported by several websites during the last week. But as Colombia.com don’t mention any other source, we must assume this news is their own.

International break is always a prime time for players and agents to push for transfers, and this one has been especially busy.

Murillo joined Inter from Granada last summer for £6m. His contract with the Italian club runs until 2020.
