Murillo, a talented defender for Nottingham Forest, may be looking for a new club this summer. He has received interest from Chelsea, who are on the hunt for a new centre-back after Thiago Silva's departure. However, Murillo is also open to the possibility of joining other Premier League teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, or Manchester City.
Last season, Murillo made a total of 32 appearances in the Premier League and played a crucial role in helping Forest avoid relegation. His impressive performance caught the attention of Chelsea, who are known for their big spending. They have reportedly shown interest in Murillo and are even willing to send two of their players to Nottingham Forest in order to secure a deal.
In an interview on the Benja Me Mucho podcast, Murillo confirmed that there is indeed interest from Chelsea and hinted at using his move to Forest as a stepping stone to a bigger club. "I don't know the exact amount, but I know there is interest," he said. "I had the dream of playing in the Premier League and I thought, 'I'll go to Nottingham Forest, have a good year, and then move on to a bigger club.'"
Aside from Chelsea, Murillo also mentioned Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City as potential destinations. He even expressed a preference for City, but acknowledged that it may be difficult for him to become a regular starter due to the strong competition in their squad. "There's City, Arsenal, and Liverpool who are all fighting for the Premier League title," he said. "But I wouldn't dismiss Liverpool as an option. It would be a great opportunity for me to showcase my skills at a top club."
As for his future, Murillo remains calm and relaxed despite the uncertainty surrounding his potential move. He plans to return to Nottingham Forest for pre-season and is aware that there may be discussions about his staying or leaving. Meanwhile, Chelsea have already made four signings this summer and are seemingly determined to strengthen their squad.
Nottingham Forest may have flirted with relegation last season, but they managed to secure a 17th-place finish, six points above the drop zone. Whether Murillo stays or goes, his contributions to the team have been invaluable and he will continue to be a key player for Forest if he remains with the club. As for Chelsea, their pursuit of Murillo is a testament to his talent and potential, and he will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to any team he joins.
