Chelsea and Arsenal are interested in signing Nottingham Forest defender Murillo during the winter transfer window, according to Caught Offside.
The Brazil international has developed into a quality centre-back during his time at Forest and he could pursue a bigger challenge next summer.
The Blues have been monitoring him for some period of time and could make a formal approach for the former Corinthians man when the season ends.
However, Caught Offside claim that the Gunners are also serious admirers of the centre-back and could compete with their London rivals for his services.
Arsenal and Chelsea are well stocked in the central defensive department, and it seems unlikely that they will spend big on Murillo in mid-2026.
Forest value him at a staggering £70 million, and that represents a huge outlay for a player, who is not necessarily strong with his ball-playing ability.
Barcelona and Liverpool have also been linked but as things stand, none of those clubs have made any contact with Forest regarding Murillo.
