Inter are set to sign Granada defender Jeison Murillo when the Colombian’s contract expires this summer. Today, Murillo spoke to W Radio about joining Inter this summer:
It will be an opportunity in which I hope that I can make the most of. It will definitely be different to Granada, because we are currently struggling to stay in La Liga and Inter is a team that aims to win trophies. They have a different mentality, and I will have to adapt to it as soon as possible so we can set new goals. It is humbling when a team like Inter is interested in you and trusts your skills. I am still young and I am trying to improve. The Italian League is renowned for having so many great defenders”
Murillo then spoke about his idols that played in Serie A:
“Obviously, it is easier to relate to players who come from the same country as you. At first, Mario Alberto Yepes and Ivan Ramiro Cordoba are the idols I think about. I grew up tying to learn about all of them. There was also Thiago Silva.”
Murillo then talked about playing for the Colombian National team:
“I think that a player should know how to sieze opportunities that go their way. It is currently a good time for Colombia because it is a gateway to Europe.”
The Colombian concluded by pointing towards the future, when he will be wearing an Inter shirt:
“The clubs already have an agreement. I will end the La Liga season with Granada, then I will move to Inter in the summer. I am still trying to grow and improve while I cope with the current situation and level of commitment. I wan to win a lot with my new team, but first I have to focus on achieving salvation with Granada. ”
