Top Premier League defender available for £20 million is being pursued by Liverpool and Manchester United.

This summer, Liverpool and Manchester United are looking to add a center-back, and they have their sights set on Nottingham Forest’s Murillo.
The 21-year-old, who signed a £15 million contract with Brazilian team Corinthians to join the Midlands club last summer, has excelled in his Premier League debut.
The Brazilian is quick, powerful, and has a superb passing range—everything you could want in a center-back in the modern day.
Football Insider reports that Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United are reportedly keeping an eye on the defender’s circumstances at the City Ground, and Nottingham Forest will reportedly seek at least £20 million for the defender this summer.
Since he has started every game for Forest this season that he has been available for, Murillo has been an important member of the team.
Should the Midlands club be relegated this season—which is conceivable given that Forest is now ranked seventeenth in the Premier League—they will have a difficult time holding onto the centre back.
Murillo of Nottingham Forest is being coveted by Liverpool and Manchester United. Erik ten Hag has been waiting for a new centre defender since the summer, but the Manchester team has never given him one.
The inability of Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof to stay healthy this season has made that position a troublesome area for the Red Devils. Ten Hag has thus been left without many options, as seen in the last several weeks when Willy Kambwala has had to fill in for the Premier League’s biggest clubs.
Joel Matip’s contract at Anfield is set to expire at the conclusion of current season, meaning the Reds will lose the defender. Murillo would be a suitable replacement for the 32-year-old at Anfield.
The Brazilian has the skills to play in a team that uses a high line and would fit in well with the Merseyside club’s current style of play.
Given that it appears like multiple teams are vying to sign the 21-year-old away from Nottingham Forest, it will be intriguing to watch what happens with him this summer.

Once more, Liverpool’s misfit on loan scores; he now has seven goals in ten appearances.
On loan from Liverpool to Hull City, Fabio Carvalho continued his incredible scoring streak in the Championship on Saturday with another goal.
Hull City defeated Queen’s Park Rangers 2-0 on Saturday thanks to another goal from Fabio Carvalho. With so, he continues his incredible recent record in the Championship.
The Portuguese playmaker scored a wonderful goal after running deep behind the QPR defence to take advantage of a through-ball. Then, for a 2-0 lead, the Liverpool loanee swept it home with abandon.
Carvalho has now made 16 appearances for Hull and scored eight goals, but his current form is even better. Ultimately, he needed a few games to get comfortable.
Carvalho, however, has seven strikes in his last ten games. In addition, he has scored five goals in his last six games and four in his previous four.
The 21-year-old has also routinely scored significant goals. There were braces against Cardiff City in a 3-1 victory, strikes that saved points against West Brom and Leicester City, and the game-winning goal against Southampton.
It’s just what the athlete needed after such an absurdly bad start to the season. That might even be sufficient to save his Liverpool career.
THE FUTURE OF FABIO CARVALHO
Carvalho was projected to be a great player on loan at RB Leipzig, where he spent the first part of the season. Rather, he played in just 158 Bundesliga minutes over the course of six months.
Something had to give. Carvalho was relegated back to the Championship by Liverpool, where he played some of his greatest games of the season.
It’s turned out to be a brilliant move. In his first season at Anfield, Carvalho was a bit of an oddball, if only because manager Jurgen Klopp believed he needed dependable, established numbers during a challenging campaign.
However, Carvalho’s loan with Hull demonstrates that his talent is still very much present, and at age 21, there is still time for him to succeed at Liverpool. If he wanted a chance to impress the new manager in preseason, he had to perform well in the second half of the season, and we believe he has now earned that
