Valencia defender Jeison Murillo is delighted with his loan move to Barcelona.

On Thursday, he was presented to over 1,000 people at the Camp Nou, accompanied by members of his family and the club hierarchy to discuss one of the proudest days of his career.

"I thank everyone who is here," he told the assembled media.

"This is a very important opportunity for me, it is the biggest door that can be opened in football.

"It is a dream come true, this means a lot to me.

"I have to work hard and get up to speed with the team and then the coach can make his decisions.

"The dream is to wear this jersey.

"I have half a season to show that I deserve it and I will work hard to stay here longer.

"I want to show the coach that he can be confident in me and show the rest of the players why I was selected to play here."
