Murillo, a talented defender for Nottingham Forest, has recently revealed that he is considering a move away from the team this summer. Despite his successful season with the club, he has sparked the interest of several Premier League giants, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
Last season, Murillo played in 32 Premier League matches and helped Forest avoid relegation after being transferred for a hefty fee of £15m from Brazilian club Corinthians. His impressive performances have caught the attention of Chelsea, who are now in the market for a new centre-back after the departure of Thiago Silva.
Rumors have circulated that Chelsea is willing to offer two players to Nottingham Forest in order to secure a deal for Murillo, whose current valuation stands at £50m. The 21-year-old has confirmed that he is aware of Chelsea's interest and even sees his move to Nottingham Forest as a stepping stone towards a bigger club.
During an interview on the Benja Me Mucho podcast, Murillo stated, "I don't know the exact amount, but I do know there is interest. I had always dreamed of playing in the Premier League, and I saw my move to Nottingham Forest as an opportunity to showcase my skills before moving on to a bigger club. That was my plan."
When asked about his preferences among the Premier League clubs, Murillo admitted that he would choose Manchester City, but acknowledged that it may be difficult for him to secure a regular starting position due to the strong competition within the squad. He also mentioned Arsenal and Liverpool as potential options, stating that it would be a great opportunity for him to showcase his talents in a top club.
Despite the ongoing speculations, Murillo remains calm and focused on his current team. He mentioned that discussions about his future may arise during pre-season, but he is not letting it affect his mindset. Meanwhile, Chelsea has already made four signings this summer, while Nottingham Forest narrowly escaped relegation last season and finished in 17th place.
As the transfer window opened last month, Murillo's future is still uncertain. However, one thing is for sure, with his talent and potential, he has caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League, and only time will tell where he will end up.
