Liverpool serious about signing Brazilian star

Liverpool are reportedly considering a serious approach for Nottingham Forest defender Murillo at the end of the campaign.

The Reds are expected to reinforce their central defensive department in the summer with the possibility of more than one exit.

Ibrahima Konate's contract expires at the end of June and he has no plans of putting pen to paper on a possible extension beyond.

Joe Gomez has likewise been linked with a departure and he could leave for a knockdown price during the next transfer window.

Amidst this, the Reds are weighing up a genuine move for Murillo, who has established himself as one of the league's best centre-backs.

Forest have endured a tough season in the Premier League, but Murillo has still impressed in the heart of their defence this term.

The Tricky Trees are aware of the increasing interest in their player and they are expected to hold out for at least £60m for his sale.
