Murillo has been a stalwart for LAFC since joining the club in 2021, playing a crucial role in their success. The Colombian center-back was a key member of the team that won the 2022 MLS Cup and the 2024 U.S. Open Cup. Despite his contributions, his contract is set to expire at the end of the year.

LAFC will undoubtedly miss the experienced defender. Murillo was a pillar in their backline, providing stability and leadership. His departure leaves a significant void in the team's defense.

Why FC Juárez?

FC Juárez, based in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, has been making waves in the Liga MX. The club has been on the rise in recent years and is looking to strengthen its squad. Murillo's experience and leadership qualities make him an ideal fit for the team.

According to journalist Felipe Sierra, Murillo has already undergone a medical examination and is set to sign a long-term contract with the Bravos. This move will see the Colombian defender trade the bright lights of Los Angeles for the passionate atmosphere of Mexican football.

A New Chapter

As Murillo prepares for this new challenge, fans of both LAFC and FC Juárez will be eager to see how he adapts to his new surroundings. His experience in the MLS will undoubtedly be valuable as he helps Juárez to continue its upward trajectory.

While Murillo's departure is a loss for LAFC, it is also an exciting new chapter in his career. As he moves on to a new league and a new country, fans will be watching with interest to see how he performs.
