Liverpool keen on Murillo in Bid to Replace Van Dijk

Liverpool interest in Nottingham Forest’s Murillo as a successor to Virgil van Dijk signals their strategic planning for defensive reinforcement.

The 22-year-old Brazilian, who progressed through Corinthians’ youth system, has flourished at Nottingham Forest, making 45 appearances and establishing himself as a defensive powerhouse since his summer move.

His composed tackling, positioning, and aerial prowess have turned heads, and Liverpool sees him as a perfect fit for their evolving backline.

With van Dijk’s contract nearing its end and uncertainty surrounding his future, Liverpool’s need for a solid successor is growing. The Reds are keen on building a defence with Murillo at its core, looking at him as a long-term solution to replace their captain.

Although Forest would prefer to retain Murillo, a substantial offer—likely in the range of £60-70 million—could be enough to sway the club at season’s end. This move could reinforce Liverpool’s backline for years to come, adding stability and youth as they prepare for life after van Dijk.
