Chelsea and Arsenal Step Up Interest in Nottingham Forest’s Murillo

Forest are said to want €80–90m, making a January exit unlikely without a valuation‑matching bid.

Overview

  • Football Talk, citing CaughtOffside, reports Arsenal have entered the pursuit with “serious intent” alongside Chelsea, who have tracked the 23-year-old since the summer under Enzo Maresca.
  • Barcelona are also reported to be keen, while Liverpool are described as monitoring with a view to potential action in summer 2026.
  • Coverage puts Forest’s asking price at €80–90m (£70–80m) and characterizes the club as a reluctant seller open only to serious proposals.
  • Murillo remains a regular starter for Forest and scored at Anfield over the weekend, earning public praise from manager Sean Dyche.
  • Local reporting says he is under contract at the City Ground until 2029, reinforcing Forest’s negotiating position.
