Barcelona have signed defender Jeison Murillo from Valencia.
The Colombian international joins on loan until the end of the season and Barcelona have an option to make the deal permanent in the summer for €25m.
A deal has been confirmed by Valencia on Thursday evening.
Murillo will join when the transfer window opens in January. The centre-back, 26, has made just one LaLiga appearance so far this season.
With Thomas Vermaelen injured and no return date set for Samuel Umtiti, the reigning LaLiga champions decided they had to sign a centre-back.
