Murillo, a talented defender currently playing for Nottingham Forest, has been making headlines as he is considering a potential departure from his current club. The 21-year-old has confirmed that he has received interest from top Premier League teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
Last season, Murillo played in 32 Premier League matches, proving to be a valuable asset to Forest as they narrowly avoided relegation. His impressive performance caught the attention of big-spending Chelsea, who are in need of a new center-back after Thiago Silva's departure.
It has been reported that Chelsea is willing to send two players to Forest in order to secure Murillo's transfer. However, Forest values the young defender at a hefty price of £50 million. Despite this, Murillo remains open to the idea of joining a top club and has even referred to his move to Forest as a stepping stone towards his ultimate dream of playing in the Premier League.
In a recent podcast, Murillo shared his thoughts on the interest from Chelsea, stating that while he is unsure of the exact amount they are willing to pay, he is aware of the buzz surrounding his potential transfer. He also revealed that he had always dreamed of playing in the Premier League and saw his move to Forest as a way to eventually join a bigger club.
Aside from Chelsea, Murillo has also expressed interest in joining Manchester City, although he acknowledges that it may be difficult to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup due to the competition within the team. He also mentioned Arsenal and Liverpool as potential destinations, as both clubs are fighting for the Premier League title and would provide him with a great opportunity to showcase his skills.
With the transfer window now open, Murillo is set to return to Forest for pre-season training. He remains calm and relaxed, knowing that there are still discussions to be had about his future. Meanwhile, Chelsea has already made four signings this summer, indicating their determination to strengthen their squad.
Nottingham Forest had a tough season last year, barely avoiding relegation and finishing 17th in the league. However, with the potential departure of Murillo, they may face even greater challenges in the upcoming season.
It remains to be seen where Murillo will end up, but one thing is for sure - he has caught the attention of top Premier League clubs and is ready to take the next step in his career. Fans will have to wait and see if he will stay with Forest or make a move to one of the top teams in the league.
