Arsenal and Chelsea, along with Liverpool, Newcastle, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona, have set their sights on Nottingham Forest’s rising star, Murillo, ahead of the summer transfer window. The Brazilian defender, who has shone brightly for Forest this season, making 27 appearances since his £12M move from Corinthians last summer, has attracted attention from several top clubs.

Previously sought after by Manchester City, West Ham, and Napoli, Murillo’s potential departure from Forest could be imminent due to the club’s financial struggles. With Forest currently facing relegation due to a four-point deduction for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules, they may need to offload players to stabilize their finances, making Murillo a prime candidate for a move.

Arsenal and Chelsea have reportedly been impressed by Murillo’s performances and are showing keen interest, according to reports from the Mail. Additionally, Liverpool and Newcastle are closely monitoring his situation, intrigued by his successful adaptation to English football.

Interest in Murillo isn’t limited to the Premier League, as Paris Saint-Germain recently acquired Brazilian talents Lucas Beraldo and Gabriel Moscardo for a combined fee of £34M, further highlighting the allure of Murillo’s potential.

Abroad, Barcelona is eyeing Murillo as part of their squad restructuring following the departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar. The Catalan club sees Murillo as a potential defensive partner for their young talent, Pau Cubarsi. With interest from top clubs at home and abroad, Murillo’s future promises to be one of the most intriguing storylines of the upcoming transfer window.
