Stoke have concerns in defence with Ryan Shawcross yet to commit to a new contract. They have considered various options including Mamdaou Sakho at Liverpool and Middlesbrough's Ben Gibson.


Murillo was discussed earlier this year and is back under consideration.

Despite the speculation over his future, earlier this month Murillo insisted he would be 'going back to Inter' after his summer break.

Murillo lost his regular starting spot last season but the Colombian made it clear he plans to stay and fight for his place.

'I have three years left on my contract and I'll be going back to Inter,' he told Radio Caracol.

'I don't know anything about the market rumours, right now I just want to take advantage of my holiday.'

Stoke have ruled out a loan deal for midfielder Gianelli Imbula. The 24-year-old will be allowed to leave but Stoke want a permanent sale and want to recoup the bulk of the £18.3m they paid for him.
