Stays at ForestNo move“Liverpool accelerate stunning 2027 signing as two leading targets revealed. The Reds have two 'leading targets' as they prepare for a big arrival at Anfield next year, according to a report…”
In the article“Nottingham Forest star Murillo has emerged as one of two key targets for Liverpool as they prepare for life after Virgil van Dijk, as per a report.”
“Liverpool want €125m duo as transfer pursuit confirmed. Liverpool have reportedly identified Nottingham Forest's Murillo and Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck as two key transfer targets for 2027 as they look to bolster their defensive roster.”
Liverpool are said to have identified Murillo as one of two defensive targets for next year, alongside Borussia Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck, as they plan for additions at Anfield in 2027. No Premier League window is open today, and nothing can be finalised until January 2027 opens on 1 January and closes on 1 February. Murillo has 42 months left on his Nottingham Forest contract at that point, with the deal running until 30 June 2030, so there is no pressure on Forest to sell from a contract running down.
FootballTransfers first reported it on 1 November, naming an asking figure of €125m for Murillo, and TEAMtalk followed on 2 November describing him and Schlotterbeck as 'leading targets' for Liverpool's plans next year. TEAMtalk has since floated a lower €82m asking figure. No trusted reporter has backed the story, so this sits as a thin tabloid link rather than anything corroborated.
Given Murillo is valued at €55m, the gap between that figure and the €125m or €82m asking numbers floating around is striking, and it is one reason to treat this as a long shot for now. Forest have no need to sell a 24 year old defender tied down into 2030, Liverpool have not had a bid reported, and the interest itself rests on a single tabloid chain rather than anything with weight behind it. For this to move anywhere, Liverpool would need to show genuine intent once the window opens, and Forest would need a reason to even consider business.
Watch for any firmer reporting once the January window nears, any change in asking figures, or a credible outlet picking up the story before it can be taken seriously.
