Overview
- Multiple reports, citing the Daily Mail, say United have identified Murillo as a potential replacement for Harry Maguire, who is out of contract this summer and free to speak to foreign clubs.
- Coverage indicates no formal offers have been made, with any pursuit expected to focus on the summer rather than the current window.
- Murillo joined Forest from Corinthians in 2023 for around £10–11 million, has become a regular starter, and signed an improved deal last year running to 2029.
- Valuations vary, with Transfermarkt listing him at about £47.6 million and other reports suggesting Forest could seek a fee closer to £70 million.
- Barcelona and AC Milan have also been linked, and factors such as United’s European qualification prospects and Forest’s season could shape the timing and feasibility of a deal.
