Liverpool’s interest in Lucas Murillo, the 23‑year‑old left‑footed centre‑back from Nottingham Forest, is part of a strategic £120m double transfer plan. Murillo’s physical dominance, composure on the ball and ability to step into midfield make him a natural fit for a back‑three system that clubs like Xabi Alonso’s Liverpool may adopt.
Complementing the defensive upgrade, midfielder Elliott Anderson could provide the “all‑action” presence Liverpool lack since Fabinho’s peak. Together, the pair would address both defensive solidity and midfield dynamism in a bid to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.
