Transfer news: Inter Milan working on new deal for Jeison Murillo amid reported interest from Arsenal and Manchester City

Inter Milan are lining up a new deal for Jeison Murillo to ward off interest from Arsenal and Manchester City.

The Colombian defender is under contract until 2020 but the San Siro giants are wary of both Premier League sides sniffing around.

Indeed, City reportedly attempted to sign the 24-year-old on loan in January but were rebuffed in their efforts.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are known admirers of Murillo and could turn to him as they attempt to reinforce their defence during the summer transfer window.

But, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are reacting to the interest by preparing a new and improved deal for Murillo, which will run until 2022.
