Jhon Murillo was almost set to join América de Cali, but negotiations were interrupted as Junior de Barranquilla stepped in and convinced him economically. Junior's maximum shareholder, Fuad Char, confirmed that they are close to signing the Venezuelan winger, who is set to leave Atlético San Luis from Liga MX. Char stated that after proposing the option to the team's coach, it received approval, leading to the advanced negotiations with Murillo, despite his prior near-complete agreement with América.
