"The Blues have a wealth of options in the defensive set-up, but they could be looking to sign a new defender, with Enzo Maresca likely to sell Axel Disasi. Bayern Munich battle Chelsea for Murillo? The Brazilian joined Forest in the summer of 2023 and has soon established himself as a key player for the Premier League side. He has made 80 appearances for Forest in all competitions, and has made four starts in the 2025-26 campaign already."
"Murillo signed a contract extension at Forest that will keep him at the club until 2029. His impressive performances have caught Bayern's attention, and he is on their transfer wish list. However, the German giants need to pay around £43.5m to lure him away from the City Ground and it could become a big problem. That being said, Bayern need to sign a new defender next summer."
Murillo joined Nottingham Forest in summer 2023 and has become a regular, making 80 appearances and four starts so far in the 2025-26 campaign. Murillo signed a contract extension that runs until 2029 after attracting interest from major clubs. Bayern Munich have added him to a defensive shortlist amid uncertainty over Dayot Upamecano's contract and potential needs around Kim Min-jae. The transfer fee is expected to be substantial, roughly around £43.5m or over €50m, which could complicate a move. Chelsea represent potential competition as they assess defensive options and possible sales.
