Barcelona to complete a loan deal this week

Big news coming in from Spain that Barcelona are set to finalize the deal for a centre-back this week. SPORT claim that the Catalan side are looking to get one of Andreas Christensen and Jeison Murillo on loan for the rest of the season.

Reports suggest that Murillo will be the one heading to Camp Nou for the season as Chelsea are not willing to let go of Christensen. Valencia have reportedly agreed to let go of the Colombian centre-back and it is not confirmed if the move will be made permanent at the end of the season.

Samuel Umtiti and Thomas Vermaelen are out injured and that has left the Catalan side with just 2 fit centre-backs; Clément Lenglet and Pique. They are keen on signing Matthijs de Ligt in the summer and thus, they are not willing to sign anyone permanently in the winter transfer window.
