Nottingham Forest’s Brazilian center-back Murillo has expressed his desire to join Manchester City if he had to move to another Premier League club, despite acknowledging the competition he would face for a regular starting spot. Manchester City, on the other hand, are confident in their current central defensive options and are unlikely to enter the transfer market for a new defender this summer. The club has denied recent links to Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and emphasized the talent within Pep Guardiola’s squad, including players like Ruben Dias and John Stones.
Murillo mentioned Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool as potential clubs he would like to play for in the Premier League. Chelsea had shown interest in the 21-year-old center-back earlier in the summer, with reports suggesting a valuation of around £70 million by Nottingham Forest. Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Murillo remains focused on returning to Nottingham Forest for pre-season and is awaiting further discussions about his potential stay or departure from the club. Juventus has also been linked with the player as they continue their recruitment efforts ahead of the new season.
