Reports suggest groundwork is under way for a summer move influenced by Forest’s situation.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets relaying TEAMtalk reporter Dean Jones say Manchester United are preparing a summer move for Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo as they seek defensive reinforcements.
  • Chelsea are also pursuing the 23-year-old, with some reports adding Real Madrid as a potential suitor.
  • Murillo has started 86 Premier League matches and made six Europa League appearances for Forest since joining in 2023.
  • He is under contract until 2029, with Transfermarkt listing a value near £47m while coverage suggests a higher fee could be required.
