£60m defender ‘interest’
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea are showing an interest in Nottingham Forest defender Murillo this summer, but it would take up to £60 million to convince the Reds to cash in befroe the end of the window.
The Brazilian has caught the eye with his performances at the City Ground. And Chelsea are now said to have made their interest known to Forest.
Speaking on CaughtOffside’s the Debrief podcast, Romano said:
“For Murillo, there is interest from Chelsea. Chelsea asked about information on the deal…it was two weeks ago.
“At the moment it’s not being discussed in terms of a proper negotiation, because it’s really expensive, probably around £55-60m, and for Chelsea this is too much.”
