Chelsea have made an approach to sign Nottingham Forest defender Murillo amid interest from London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham, according to reports.
The Blues have spent over £1billion since a Todd Boehly-led consortium took over the club in May 2022 with the Premier League side still adjusting to all the change.
But already seem to be one of the most active Premier League clubs in the transfer market with reports indicating they are taking their interest in Murillo to the next level.
Reports in Brazil have claimed that Nottingham Forest are studying a proposal from Chelsea with the Blues offering two players and an additional amount of money .
The reports add that the Brazilian could be traded and that Corinthians are particularly interested in a possible transfer as they are set to earn 10 per cent of any deal.
Chelsea have already been linked with numerous players this summer, including Nico Williams , and a story yesterday insisted that Newcastle United have told the Blues to to sign Alexander Isak this summer.
And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed contacts over a possible deal for Isak but insists a deal is too expensive for Chelsea this summer.
: We’ve had many rumours about Alexander Isak and Chelsea, with contacts taking place with Newcastle, and from what I’m told Chelsea are 100% aware of the situation with the Swedish striker he is considered absolutely too expensive. We already know that Chelsea felt Nico Williams and Michael Olise were too expensive.

Newcastle would ask for crazy money for Isak, he has a long term contract at the club, and they are also thinking internally at the moment about offering him a new deal. Eddie Howe and the owners want him to stay at the club, so at the moment there is no movement there is interest from many clubs, of course, but nothing concrete as he’s expected to stay at Newcastle.
