The name of Murillo has become one of the sensations in European football. The young Brazilian defender from Nottingham Forest has sparked the interest of giants like Bayern Munich and Chelsea, two clubs ready to engage in an intense battle to secure his services in the upcoming transfer market.

Bayern Munich aims to strengthen its defense with Murillo

The Bavarian team has set its sights on the Nottingham Forest defender following reports from journalist Christian Falk. According to these sources, Bayern is prepared to offer up to £43.5 million, around €50 million, for his transfer.

Although Murillo signed an extension until 2029 last January, the German club believes that his current salary is relatively low, making his incorporation easier. His performance in the Premier League has been outstanding, combining physical power, ball security, and an uncommon maturity for a player his age.

Bayern's interest is not random. Dayot Upamecano is entering the final year of his contract, and there are no signs of renewal yet. If the Frenchman decides to leave, the club needs a top-level substitute. Even if he ultimately renews, the Germans want to strengthen the defense in case of a possible departure of Kim Min-jae. In both scenarios, Murillo emerges as the perfect fit: young, talented, and with a profile that fits the Bavarian playing style.

Reports from Germany claim that Bayern executives are convinced that the Brazilian "would perfectly fit the club's style" due to his speed and anticipation skills.

Chelsea also joins the fight for Murillo

Chelsea is not planning to stay behind. The London-based team is closely monitoring the Brazilian's progress and is willing to directly compete with Bayern for his signing. Although the "Blues" already have a wide defensive line, they might make room for a young, promising center-back by letting go of Axel Disasi.

The arrival of Enzo Maresca to the bench has brought a new sports vision, focusing on rejuvenating the squad and enhancing players with growth potential. In this context, Murillo fits perfectly. His ability to play the ball from the back and his aggression in marking are qualities highly valued by the Italian coach.

This wouldn't be the first time Chelsea tries to sign him. In the past, there were talks with the player's entourage, but Nottingham Forest managed to halt them by securing his continuity. However, all signs point to the economic and sporting pressure from the big clubs potentially leading the Brazilian to make the definitive leap this time.

Murillo's meteoric rise at Nottingham Forest

Murillo arrived at Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2023 from Corinthians and, in just two seasons, has established himself as one of the team's pillars. At 23 years old, he has already played nearly 80 official matches in the Premier League and has been an undisputed starter since his debut.

The English club decided to extend his contract until 2029, aware that his progression was a goldmine. His development has been so remarkable that several top European clubs — including Real Madrid — explored his signing in previous windows. In the 2024/25 season, he was one of the best defenders in the English league, standing out for his positioning, clean distribution, and leadership at the back.

A future pointing towards European giants

The scenario looks vibrant. Bayern Munich seems willing to splash the cash to bring the Brazilian in as soon as possible, while Chelsea trusts that their sporting project and the allure of the Premier League will convince the player.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, knows that retaining him will be challenging. The £43.5 million figure might be enough to start negotiations, although the club is reluctant to easily part ways with one of its bright talents.

With the transfer market approaching, all signs indicate that Murillo's name will once again hit the headlines. His destination is still uncertain, but one thing is clear: the Brazilian center-back is ready to make the leap to the elite and become a key player in the next big move in European football.
