"Murillo has done a really, really good job for Forest. Chelsea need a centre-back, they're not good enough at the back to challenge for the title. They are aware of that and it's something they're going to look at in January, because they've suffered a lot of injuries already this season. Murillo of course will be on their radar, he has been for a while because he's been fantastic for Nottingham Forest, and they're not the only club looking at him."
"They need more quality and depth in the defensive unit. They have suffered multiple injuries at the back, and they need to tighten up defensively. The South American defender will be attracted to the idea of joining one of the biggest clubs in the country. The move to Chelsea could be the ideal next step in his career. It would allow him to fight for major trophies and compete in European football regularly."
"Nottingham Forest will not want to lose a key player like him, and they could easily demand a premium. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are prepared to break the Bank for the Brazilian defender. They have an excellent team, and signing a quality defender could take them to a whole new level. Convincing the defender to join the club will not be difficult for Chelsea."
Chelsea are monitoring Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo after strong performances for Forest. The club require defensive reinforcements due to injuries and a perceived lack of title-challenging quality at the back. Murillo offers youth and potential, the chance to develop into a key player, and attraction of joining a major club with regular European football and trophy opportunities. Arsenal and Barcelona, among others, have been linked to him, so competition for his signature is likely. Nottingham Forest could demand a substantial transfer fee for a key player. Chelsea may need to pay a premium to secure the signing in January or beyond.
