Sevilla set Muriel's buy-out set at 50 million euros
Muriel's retention clause will also be a new club record - anyone wanting to buy him out of his contract during its five-year duration will need to pay Sevilla 50 million euros. The Colombian sure is the star summer signing for Eduardo Berizzo and Óscar Arias. Midfielder Éver Banega also arrived in Sevilla on a train from Madrid on Sunday.
