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.
- Forest’s precarious league position is cited as a factor that could prompt sales, and a mooted United double deal that also features Elliot Anderson has been reported without any formal bids disclosed.
