Barcelona defender Jeison Murillo has revealed his loan switch to Barcelona originated after he jokingly asked his agent to get him the move.
The Colombian joined the Blaugrana on loan from Valencia last month for the rest of the season as cover with Samuel Umtiti recovering from an ongoing knee issue.
Speaking to Sport's Albert Roge, Murillo said: "I found out about Umtiti's injury, and as a joke, I said to my agent: 'How about you take me to Barca?' But it was nothing more than that, a joke. After 20 days, my agent called me and he told me that there was a possibility of signing for Barca.
