February 27, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Nottingham Forest defender Murillo is the subject of a fierce transfer battle, with Liverpool and Chelsea reportedly in the race to sign the 23-year-old Brazilian.

According to reports, both Liverpool and Chelsea have shown "strong and serious" interest in Murillo. Forest are bracing for offers in the £60m to £70m range, with the young centre-back's technical ability making him a top target.

Chelsea have reportedly conducted extensive groundwork over the past year, while Liverpool eye the Brazilian to address defensive depth following Virgil van Dijk's age. Murillo's left-footed elegance and composure under pressure make him a coveted asset for both Premier League giants.
