Real Madrid interested in Nottingham Forest defender Murillo

Real Madrid are looking to improve their defensive unit, and they have been urged to sign Murillo from Nottingham Forest.

The 23-year-old has established himself as one of the finest young defensive talents in the Premier League, and Juni Calafat has urged them to sign the player, as per Defensa Central.

The defender will cost around €60 million, and it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are willing to break the Bank for him. The Brazilian has all the tools to develop into a future star. The opportunity to join Real Madrid will be quite exciting for him, and he will be tempted if there is a concrete proposal ahead of him.

Convincing him to join the club will not be difficult for the Spanish club. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay the asking price for him. Nottingham Forest will not want to lose him easily, and they will demand a premium. Murillo is a target for Barcelona as well.

Murillo could fancy a step up

The 23-year-old has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he certainly deserves to compete at the highest level. The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in Europe will be hard to turn down for him. It would be a huge step up in his career, and he would get to compete at the highest level. The move to Real Madrid will allow him to compete in the UEFA Champions League regularly and fight for major trophies.

Playing alongside elite players at the Spanish club will help him improve further and fulfil his world-class potential. The defender has been linked with multiple clubs in recent months, and it remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.

Los Blancos have looked vulnerable defensively in recent months, and they need to tighten up at the back. Murillo would be the ideal acquisition for them.
