Liverpool & Man Utd to battle it out for Forest star
Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo this summer.
The Reds recently confirmed the departure of Joel Matip on a free transfer and they are eyeing a young replacement with Premier League experience.
United are in the same situation with the exit of Raphael Varane. The World Cup winner is expected to leave the club when his deal expires this month.
They are likewise eyeing a young star with potential and reports claim that both clubs could battle it out for the signature of Murillo from Forest.
Forest avoided relegation from the top-flight in impressive fashion, but they still need to sell to balance their books before June 30.
Murillo is one of their most valuable players and reports claim that it could take £40 million to persuade them to part ways with him.
Liverpool have the edge with Champions League football, but United could assure him more playing time than the Reds.
