Murillo: How INEOS plan to beat Liverpool and Chelsea to Forest’s prized defender

Manchester United are actively monitoring Nottingham Forest center-back Murillo as INEOS prepares to overhaul their defense next summer, according to journalist Dean Jones. Although Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea are also linked with the Brazilian defender, United hierarchy reportedly views the permanent signing as an ideal target to build around due to his composure and aggressive play.

A transfer during the winter window is deemed difficult, leading United to target a move in the summer. The pursuit of Murillo follows previous transfer windows focused on attack and midfield, as INEOS aims to assemble a title-challenging backline alongside other targets like Tyrick Mitchell, Adrien Truffert, and Alejandro Balde.
