Alious**Nottingham Forest Face Deadline Day Drama as Murillo ‘Open’ to Blockbuster £80M Move to Liverpool**
With the January transfer window ticking down to its final hours, Nottingham Forest could be set for a tense finish as reports suggest **Murillo** is **open to a sensational deadline day switch to Liverpool**.
The **22-year-old Brazilian defender** has been a standout performer for Forest this season, anchoring a defense that’s been key to their strong results. His impressive displays haven’t gone unnoticed, with Europe’s elite clubs circling. According to *CaughtOffside*, Murillo **”would consider” a move to Anfield**—despite having recently committed to a long-term contract at the City Ground.
Forest snapped him up for **£15 million**, but his rapid rise has seen his value skyrocket, with the club now slapping a hefty **£80 million price tag** on their defensive star. The speculation comes as **Liverpool** reportedly view Murillo as a **potential successor to Virgil van Dijk**, whose contract situation remains unresolved.
**South American football expert Tim Vickery** believes Murillo’s meteoric rise makes a move inevitable:
> *“Murillo has been outstanding this season. Remember, he’d only played 25 games for Corinthians before jumping straight into the Premier League with Forest. Defending at this level requires cohesion with your teammates, yet he arrived not even speaking the language and has exceeded all expectations. Now he’s even fighting for a spot in the Brazil national team.”*
As the deadline looms, all eyes will be on Nottingham Forest to see if they can hold onto one of their brightest talents—or if Liverpool will make an offer too good to refuse.
