Chelsea aware of Nottingham Forest stance on Murillo

Chelsea are interested in signing Murillo in the January transfer window, according to Football Insider.

However, Chelsea, who won the Conference League last season and the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the summer of 2025, are aware that Forest will not sell defender Murillo in the middle of the season.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke said: “Maybe in the summer it remains to be seen if Murillo would maybe push for a move away in search of playing at the highest level.

“Playing Champions League football as well, but he isn’t going to come cheap. Let’s not get away with that either.

“I don’t think Forest would let a player like Murillo leave for anything less than £70-80million as well and [there’s] no chance he leaves in the January window.

“I’m sure those clubs that are interested in the likes of Chelsea are aware of that.

“Barcelona have also been credited with an interest in the Brazilian they will continue to keep tabs on them and maybe re-evaluate in the summer.”
