Nottingham Forest defender Murilo has attracted attention from Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and many more in recent weeks and his agent has warned about standing his way if a bid is made.
Murillo’s agent has stated it would be “very difficult” for Forest to hang on to their star defender as interest in him continues to grow into a potential deal.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side managed to avoid a scenario where selling Murillo for a cut-price fee had to be considered to comply with Profitability and Sustainability Rules before last weekend’s accounting deadline.
This means the side will be in a strong position to deal with any offers as they don’t have to sell for a cut price.
Despite this transfer talk about the 22-year-old is unlikely to die down any time soon with many clubs interested in the Brazilian's services.
Recently the defender confirmed the rumours telling Benja Me Mucho podcast:
“I know there was a buzz of interest. So, I don’t know exactly how much the amount is, but I know there was interest.”
“I had the dream of playing in the Premier League and I had that thought. I thought: ‘I’ll go to Nottingham Forest, have a good year and then I’ll go to a big club’. I had that in my head.”
The defender also stated:
“I’d choose Manchester City but it would be more difficult for me to be a regular starter given the players they have in their squad.”
“There’s City, Arsenal as well, who are fighting for the Premier League title. I wouldn’t discard Liverpool either, it would be a good opportunity for me to show my football in a big club.”
