The Star Defender of Forest That Liverpool Is Interested In

Murillo's monstrous performance against Liverpool

The 22-year-old had an outstanding performance on Tuesday night, delivering a flawless display at the heart of Nottingham Forest's defense. Based on his performance, Murillo looks like a fantastic signing for Liverpool, especially given the need to strengthen the central defense at the end of the season.

Murillo ticks all the boxes for Liverpool

Murillo would tick many boxes for Liverpool if they could attract him to the club this summer, as he has plenty of experience in the Premier League despite his young age. His availability seems more reliable than players like Ibrahima Konaté and Joe Gómez, given he has been a starter in 52 league matches since the start of last season.
