Liverpool Target Brazilian Defender Murillo

Liverpool are among clubs showing 'strong and serious' interest in Nottingham Forest defender Murillo, with the 23-year-old Brazilian valued between £60-70 million.

According to TeamTalk, Liverpool's interest in the left-footed defender aligns with their long-term defensive needs. Murillo's composure in possession and confidence stepping into midfield make him a natural fit for Jurgen Klopp's system.

The Reds face competition from Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Bayern Munich, with Forest holding a firm negotiating position given Murillo's contract runs until 2029. Liverpool's recruitment team is known for being meticulous, rarely moving without extensive data and live assessment.
