Chelsea, Arsenal Join Barcelona in Pursuit of Nottingham Forest’s Murillo

A reported €80–90m price tag with a 2029 deal leaves Nottingham Forest in control.

Overview

  • Chelsea and Arsenal are reported to have entered the race with serious intent, with Enzo Maresca having tracked the centre-back since the summer.
  • Barcelona view the 23-year-old as a long-term defensive investment, while Liverpool are keeping a watching brief with any move expected next summer.
  • Forest are described as reluctant sellers but would consider serious offers close to their valuation.
  • Murillo is under contract at the City Ground until 2029 after signing a new deal earlier this year.
  • Sean Dyche praised Murillo’s aerial strength and progress following a 3-0 win at Anfield in which the defender scored.
