Chelsea to make move for £55m Brazilian star?

Chelsea could make an approach to land Nottingham Forest defender Murillo at the end of the campaign, according to The Daily Mail.

The west London giants have had a disappointing start to December. They have yet to win a game and recently suffered a 2-1 loss to Atalanta on the road in the Champions League.

The Blues are unlikely to go on a spending spree at the start of 2026, but the scenario could be completely different over the summer.

A new centre-back could be among the priorities for the manager and reports claim that they could make an approach for Murillo's services.

The Brazilian is prepared to pursue a new challenge at the end of the season, but Forest are unlikely to let him go on the cheap.

The Tricky Trees are likely to demand at least £55 million to part ways with the left-footed centre-back during next summer's transfer window.

They have no plans to negotiate a mid-season transfer.
