Liverpool are on the lookout for reinforcements in central defence as they brace themselves for the possible exits of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez this summer. With both players potentially leaving, the Reds could find themselves short on experienced leaders at the back.
The club has already invested heavily in their squad, splashing £60 million on Jeremy Doku from Rennes, while also securing young talent Giovanni Leoni for £26 million. Additionally, they’ve added Mor Tall Ndiaye and Ifeanyi Ndukwe to their ranks.
Now, the attention of manager Andoni Iraola has turned to 24-year-old Brazilian defender Murillo from Nottingham Forest. The powerful left-footed player is a crucial part of head coach Oliver Glasner’s setup at the City Ground.
According to reports from Football Insider, Chelsea, managed by Xabi Alonso, have also expressed interest in the Brazilian.
Murillo’s contract with Nottingham Forest runs until 2030, meaning the club is not planning to entertain any offers for him in the January transfer window. Any top club looking to secure his services will need to make an exceptional financial proposal.
