Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Murillo from Nottingham Forest. According to a report from INews, Murillo is not pushing for a move away from Nottingham Forest, but his stance could change if a top club like Liverpool were to make an approach.

Liverpool are reportedly preparing an offer of around €80m for the transfer of Nottingham Forest central defender Murillo. According to Fichajes, Liverpool are linked with Murillo as a potential replacement for Ibrahima Konate. The report states that Liverpool are accelerating their efforts to sign Murillo because Konate is expected to leave as he nears the end of his contract.

Liverpool will face competition from Chelsea to sign Murillo. Liverpool need a quality defender as Ibrahima Konate will be out of contract in the summer, and they need to replace him. Murillo is likely to cost around £60-70 million in the summer.

Team Talk reports that Liverpool are interested in Murillo, having done comparable due diligence and having considered moves in previous windows. Liverpool view the former Corinthians player as a potential upgrade, particularly given his ability to progress play from deep positions. The interest from Liverpool is described as strong and serious, while Murillo’s representatives are actively assessing options for a move to a top-six Premier League side. Valuations range from £60 million to £70 million or higher, and a summer sale is considered increasingly likely if offers of around £60m-£70m are made. Forest are reluctant to sell, and Murillo has a contract until 2029.
