Murillo to Manchester United: talk of a summer move, no bid yet

The situation

Manchester United are being linked with Murillo again, with reports this week framing it as a move for next summer rather than anything that can happen before the January window shuts. The Nottingham Forest centre back, 24, is said to interest United as they look to strengthen their defence, but the same reports note Forest are reluctant to sell and would need a substantial offer to change their minds. No bid has been made. One outlet puts the asking price at €60m, roughly five times the €12m Forest paid Corinthians for him in 2023.

The reporting

Football Insider first reported it on 8 November, saying Forest could accept a huge offer for Murillo. Transfer News Live and Transfer News Central both carried versions of that report the following day, each repeating Football Insider rather than adding fresh detail. That means three outlets are really one voice here, and no trusted reporter has backed any of it. Every outlet carrying the story is a tabloid or an aggregator.

The outlook

With the reports themselves pointing to a summer move, the chance of anything concrete happening in January looks slim. Forest have 42 months left on his contract once that window opens, so they are under no pressure to sell, and nothing here suggests United have gone beyond background interest. Call it a long way from done, resting on Forest's willingness to negotiate at all.

The context

Murillo is valued at €55m. For context, United paid Ajax €57m for Lisandro Martínez in 2022 and Chelsea €56m for Andrey Santos this year, so a fee near €60m would sit in line with what they have spent on defensive reinforcements recently. What changes this is simple: an actual bid from United, or any sign Forest will negotiate before next summer.
