The 23-year-old Brazilian has emerged as one of the Premier League's breakout defensive performers this season, with his composure in possession and midfield confidence making him an attractive option for Liverpool. His left-footed balance would offer a different angle in build-up play, particularly against high presses.
Nottingham Forest values Murillo between £60 million and £70 million, with his contract running until 2029. Liverpool faces competition from several top clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Bayern Munich. The Reds' interest is described as more than casual monitoring, with their recruitment team having conducted comparable groundwork to Chelsea in previous windows.
