Murillo, a defender for Nottingham Forest, has recently expressed his willingness to explore other options this summer. He has caught the attention of Chelsea, who are on the hunt for a new center-back after Thiago Silva's departure. Murillo has also stated that he would be open to joining other Premier League teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, or Manchester City.
During the previous season, Murillo played in 32 Premier League matches and played a crucial role in helping Forest avoid relegation. This impressive performance has led to Chelsea's interest in him. However, Forest has now valued Murillo at a whopping £50m. In order to make a deal happen, Chelsea has reportedly offered to send two players to Forest in exchange for Murillo.
In a recent podcast with Benja Me Mucho, the 21-year-old Murillo shared that he is aware of the interest from Chelsea and hinted that he sees his move to Forest as a stepping stone towards playing for a bigger club. He said, "I don't know if it's £70m, but I know there was a buzz of interest. So, I don't know exactly how much the amount is, but I know there was interest. I had the dream of playing in the Premier League, and I had that thought. I thought: 'I'll go to Nottingham Forest, have a good year, and then I'll go to a big club.' I had that in my head."
Apart from Chelsea, Murillo also mentioned other potential destinations, including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City. He admitted that he would choose Manchester City, but he understands that it would be challenging to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup due to the talented players they have. He also talked about the other clubs, saying, "There's City, Arsenal as well, who are fighting for the Premier League title. I wouldn't discard Liverpool either; it would be a good opportunity for me to show my football in a big club."
As the transfer window has just opened, Murillo is set to return to Nottingham Forest for pre-season training. He remains calm and relaxed, knowing that there might be discussions about his future at the club. Meanwhile, Chelsea has already made four signings this summer, and Forest finished 17th in the league last season, just six points above the relegation zone.
It remains to be seen which club Murillo will end up playing for next season, but one thing is for sure – he is a highly sought-after young talent in the Premier League. Stay tuned for more updates on Murillo's potential transfer and other news related to Arsenal.
