Murillo, the talented defender from Nottingham Forest, has revealed that he is considering a move away from the club this summer. He has caught the attention of top Premier League teams, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City, and is open to joining any of them.
Last season, Murillo appeared in 32 Premier League games for Nottingham Forest, helping them avoid relegation to the Championship. His impressive performance has not gone unnoticed, as Chelsea, in particular, are looking for a new centre-back after the departure of Thiago Silva. However, with Nottingham Forest valuing Murillo at £50m, Chelsea may need to offer more than just cash to secure the deal.
According to reports, Chelsea is willing to send two players to Nottingham Forest as part of the deal. Murillo has confirmed that there is indeed interest from Chelsea and has even suggested that he saw his move to Nottingham Forest as a stepping stone to a bigger club. "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 I'll move on to a bigger club,'" he said during an interview on the Benja Me Mucho podcast.
Not only is Chelsea interested in Murillo, but he has also caught the eye of other top teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City. When asked about his preferred destination, Murillo named Manchester City but acknowledged that it may be difficult to secure a regular starting spot due to the strong competition for places. He also mentioned Arsenal and Liverpool as potential options, stating that he would be keen to showcase his skills at a big club.
While there has been no confirmation of any offers or negotiations yet, Murillo remains calm and focused on his current club. "We don't know anything for certain, the window opened last month, so I'm going to return to Nottingham Forest for pre-season," he said. "There might be some discussions on whether I'll stay or not, so there's a lot of things to happen still, but I'm relaxed."
Meanwhile, Chelsea has been busy in the transfer market, already securing the signings of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tosin Adarabioyo, Omari Kellyman, and Marc Guiu. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, narrowly avoided relegation last season and will be looking to strengthen their squad to avoid a similar situation in the upcoming season.
It remains to be seen where Murillo will end up, but one thing is for sure, the young defender has a bright future ahead of him. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting transfer saga.
