Muriel became Sevilla’s record signing when he arrived from Samp in the summer of 2017 for an initial €20m, but struggled in Spain, netting just 13 times in 65 games.
Despite carrying a knee injury, which ruled him out of Copa America, he becomes the Dea’s first recruit since they qualified for the Champions League.
