Real Madrid vie with Liverpool for the signature of Nottingham Forest defender Murillo

One of the positions Liverpool will almost certainly sign next summer is left center back or defensive left back.

Andy Robertson has started to decline and although Kostas Tsimikas has played well when called upon, it is very clear that Arne Slot wants a defensive back, something he uses regularly at Feyernoord.

The Reds were linked with Riccardo Calafiori before he joined Arsenal last summer for €45 millionshowing that they intend to sign a player in a similar mold.

One player who has attracted attention since joining the Premier League is Nottingham Forest’s Murillo, who joined the Midlands club in 2023 from Brazilian club Corinthians for €.13 million.

The 22-year-old is now worth 40 million euros according to TransferMarktHowever, it is very likely that the former European champions will demand at least double this valuation.

Liverpool was strongly related with the Brazilian in recent weeks, joining Chelsea and PSG who have also expressed interest in Murillo.

Now, according to the Spanish media SheetsCarlo Ancelotti targets Nottingham Forest centre-back following Éder Militão’s ACL injury.

The report states that Real Madrid are considering signing the 22-year-old in January and believes the young defender could bring the dynamism and defensive solidity they are lacking after their massive defensive injury crisis.

Finally, the article also confirms that Nottingham Forest are in no rush to sell Murillo since he has a contract with the club until 2028. However, it mentions that the prospect of joining Real Madrid will be something the player and its representatives could “seriously”. consider” in the coming months.

As the report mentions, it would be highly unlikely that Forest would even consider selling him in January, if they did it would attract a huge premium, which would likely discourage Madrid.

All these rumors are very indicative of Murillo’s notoriety among Europe’s top clubs and it seems certain that he will leave Nottinghamshire in the next summer transfer window.
