Premier League side set £20 million price tag on Liverpool and Chelsea target - Reports
Nottingham Forest will demand in excess of £20 million for their central defender Murillo, amid interest from Chelsea and Liverpool, as per Football Insider.
The Brazilian centre-half has attracted several other clubs to come seeking his services, including Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain. With Murillo's current employers in financial trouble, the aforementioned report claims that the player could well be on his way out of the club.
The 21-year-old arrived in the Premier League only last summer from Corinthians for a reported £15 million. He has since become an integral part of the team's defensive setup, having made 31 appearances across competitions and contributing two assists.
A move for Murillo to Liverpool or Chelsea would earn him the chance to compete for top honors. Currently, the Reds are battling Manchester City and Arsenal for the Premier League title.
While the Blues have struggled this season, there is an opportunity to replace the experienced Thiago Silva, whose contract runs out in the summer. The west Londoners are in the final four of the FA Cup and could yet finish the season with silverware.
On the other hand, a move to Merseyside may see Murillo wait for a bit longer for time in the team's first XI. With the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, and Jarell Quansah to contend with, game time may be hard to come by.
Liverpool and Chelsea interested in signing highly sought after Ligue 1 defender - Reports
Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United are all reportedly interested in a move for Lille defender Leny Yoro in the summer. With the 18-year-old centre-half entering the final year of his deal at his current club, the French outfit will be looking to cash in on the defender this summer.
According to HITC, Yoro himself is open to a move at the end of the season (via Caught Off Side). However, the price tag on the defender may be a concern, with Lille reportedly looking for about £80 million to let go of the youngster.
This season, Yoro has played 38 matches across competitions for Lille, bagging three goals in the process. It is likely that he would look to move to the Premier League this summer, as the English top division is widely considered the best in the world.
