Arsenal and Liverpool are still understood to be keen on the dives in the potential transfer of Nottingham Forest centre back Murillo this summer.
Sources with a good understanding of the situation provide information Catch off side This Murillo has been attracting strong interest from many top clubs this summer.
Arsenal and Liverpool were one of Murillo’s main suitors, and they first explored the deal in several consultations in January, and it was proven to have ultimately failed.
Still, they remain keen on Brazilian International, and he is also recognized on the radars of Chelsea and Real Madrid, for around 800,000 euros. Catch off side I understand.
However, Forest has declared he doesn’t want to sell Murillo and wants to hold discussions with players about extending his contract until 2030.
Murillo attracts transferees but can win a big new forest deal
Forest has had a great season and now surpasses all expectations of being fourth in the Premier League table.
Murillo has played a major role in the success of Nuno Espirito Santo’s team, but Champions League qualifiers could also help the club retain the talented 22-year-old.
However, Liverpool’s interest in Murillo makes sense. Because ArneSlot definitely wants to build the team’s success this season.
Murillo may also be ideal to give the club a long-term successor to the aging Virgil van Dyk, but as we approach the final year of the contract, it may be worth considering Conate’s replacement.
Meanwhile, it is understood that Arsenal is not desperately in need of a new central defender, but is considering Murillo alongside Bournemouth’s talented young CB Dean Huysen.
This summer, Gunners may be interested in both Gabriel Magalges and Jakub Kiwior, so Murillo can prove an ideal signature if either or both of those players leave.
