Nottingham Forest set Murillo asking price

Murillo has been a key starter for Nottingham Forest this season as they aim for success in the Premier League.

The defender, who joined Forest in the summer of 2023, has made 103 appearances for the side and has scored four times.

Meanwhile, looking at this season specifically, the Brazilian has made 28 appearances, scoring two times, demonstrating his value in front of goal.

With this in mind, and considering his Premier League experience, Murillo has been linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer.

United, who could lose Harry Maguire due to his contract expiring, may be in the market for a new centre-back to improve the current depth and quality available in the position.

Now, with this in mind, the defender’s asking price has been named. According to RTI Esporte, Nottingham Forest want at least 70 million euros for the player.

The outlet have also stated that the Brazilian has caught the eye of giants like Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham for a potential summer move.

With this in mind, a potential three club showdown could commence in the coming months as each club tries to tell the defender why their club is the best option.

For Manchester United, the signing of Murillo may help to strengthen the centre-back position whilst bringing more valued Premier League experience into the squad.

Meanwhile, with a new manager potentially coming on board in the summer, Murillo may have the opportunity to prove himself to the new manager and, from this, could cement his position in the squad full-time.

However, with Tottenham and Chelsea also interested, the signing’s chances of happening can not be clarified yet, although could be low.

Therefore, supporters may turn their attention towards Manchester United to see if they make the first move.
