Murillo, the talented defender for Nottingham Forest, has recently expressed his openness to leaving the club this summer. The 21-year-old has been a key player for the team, making 32 appearances in the Premier League last season and helping them avoid relegation. However, with big-name clubs showing interest in him, Murillo is considering taking his career to the next level.
One of the clubs reportedly interested in Murillo is Chelsea, who are on the lookout for a new centre-back after the departure of Thiago Silva. The London-based team has even indicated their willingness to send two players to Nottingham Forest as part of a deal for the Brazilian defender. Murillo has confirmed that there has been "interest" from Chelsea, but he is also open to joining their Premier League rivals Arsenal, Liverpool, or Manchester City.
When Murillo joined Nottingham Forest last summer from Brazilian side Corinthians for a hefty fee of £15m, he had the dream of playing in the Premier League and using the opportunity to join a top club. However, with his current value now estimated at £50m, Murillo's dream may soon become a reality. He has admitted that he had always envisioned using his move to Forest as a stepping stone to a bigger club.
In addition to Chelsea, Murillo has also named Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City as potential destinations. He expressed his admiration for Manchester City, but acknowledged that it might be difficult for him to become a regular starter due to their already strong squad. Arsenal and Liverpool also present exciting opportunities for him to showcase his skills at a big club.
While nothing is certain yet, Murillo is keeping a calm mindset and focusing on returning to Nottingham Forest for pre-season. He knows that there may be discussions about his future with the club, but he is not letting it affect him. Chelsea, on the other hand, has already made four signings this summer, but they seem determined to add Murillo to their ranks.
Nottingham Forest had a tough season, flirting with relegation before eventually finishing 17th in the Premier League. Murillo's departure would be a significant loss for the team, but it could also be a chance for him to take his career to new heights. As the transfer window has just opened, there is still much to happen, but Murillo is ready for whatever the future holds.
