Valencia manager Marcelino has confirmed Jeison Murillo is set to leave the club in January amid speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona.
The 26-year-old has struggled for minutes this term, with Gabriel Paulista, Ezequiel Garay and Ruben Vezo ahead of Murillo in the pecking order at the Mestalla.
When asked about whether Murillo would be on the move in January, Marcelino was candid in response, per Superdeporte (h/t Sport):
"It was always going to depend on him whether he stayed or not. If he didn't it's because there was a favourable situation for everyone.
