Liverpool have reignited their interest in Nottingham Forest’s rising star Murillo, a player who continues to make waves in the Premier League. The Brazilian center-back, who joined Forest for £11 million in August 2023, has impressed during his time at the City Ground. His standout performances, including a stellar display against Liverpool that helped Forest secure a valuable point, have reportedly caught the Reds’ attention once again.
Last year, Liverpool was listed among four clubs monitoring the 21-year-old, and with Murillo currently negotiating an extension to his five-year deal—which includes a significant pay rise—the speculation has only intensified. Despite these talks, Murillo has been open about his aspirations to move to a top club, with Liverpool firmly on his radar.
Speaking to *Tribuna* last year, Murillo shared his Premier League ambitions: “I had the dream of playing in the Premier League and thought, ‘I’ll go to Nottingham Forest, have a good year, and then move to a big club.’” While he acknowledged Manchester City and Arsenal as attractive options, he noted Liverpool as a promising destination, offering him the chance to prove himself on a grand stage. With his admiration for the Reds clear, could Murillo be on the verge of a big move to Anfield?
