Stoke join Everton and Newcastle in showing interest in Inter Milan defender Jeison Murillo.
Stoke City are the latest Premier League side to show interest in signing Inter Milan defender Jeison Murillo this summer, according to the Daily Mail.
With the Potteries yet to tie captain Ryan Shawcross down to a new deal as he enters the final year of his current contract, they have decided to look at alternative options.

Having previously considered Liverpool’s Mamadou Sakho and Ben Gibson of Middlesbrough, Murillo has now come up on their radar.
There is speculation over the 25-year-old’s future at the San Siro as Inter look to comply with Financial Fair Play rules and it is suggested they will allow the centre-back to leave for around £15m.
Stoke could well face competition for Murillo’s signature, however, with Sky Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claiming that Everton are interested, while Italian publication La Gazetta Dello Sport previously said Newcastle United were also keeping tabs.
The Colombia international has been with the Nerazzurri for two years after joining from Granada and has since played 69 times for the Serie A club in all competitions.
