Reports say Manchester United and Bayern Munich will fight to sign Inter defender Jeison Murillo this summer.

Gazzetta dello Sport believes that the Colombia international has attracted the interest of the two European giants after an impressive debut season with the Nerazzurri.

The newspaper writes that Bayern, who will have Carlo Ancelotti as their new Coach in the summer, have targeted the centre-back.

The outlet also says that United are particularly likely to make a move should Jose Mourinho become their new manager.

The Portuguese watched Murillo during Inter’s win over Sampdoria on 20 February and could be willing to spend up to €35m on him.

However, Gazzetta says this sum is excessive and that the San Siro club would accept bids of €25m, but none below €18m.

Should he depart, PSV’s Jeffrey Bruma, Ajax’s Joel Veltman and Schalke’s Roman Neudstadter have all been suggested as possible replacements.

However, Genoa’s Armando Izzo could be the ideal candidate as he has already been tracked by Inter, would arrive at a lower cost, is Italian and already knows Serie A well.
