Chelsea Eye Forest’s Murillo as Bayern Enter the Race

A contract running to 2029 without a release clause makes a winter move costly, likely pushing the timeline to summer.

Overview

  • Former chief scout Mick Brown says Murillo is on Chelsea’s list as the club prioritises a January centre-back after multiple injuries.
  • BILD’s Christian Falk reports Bayern Munich have shortlisted the 23-year-old, with Chelsea also tracking the player.
  • Nottingham Forest extended Murillo’s deal in January to 2029 and local reporting says it contains no release clause, strengthening Forest’s position.
  • Estimates suggest a fee above €50m, with earlier reporting referencing valuations rising as high as around £70m.
  • Murillo has been limited to five appearances this season due to thigh and back issues, and several outlets indicate Forest are unlikely to sell in January.
