Liverpool, Chelsea Race for £70m Nottingham Forest Star

Liverpool and Chelsea are reportedly racing to sign Nottingham Forest defender Murillo this summer, with Forest demanding up to £70m.

Chelsea have reportedly laid the groundwork for a move over the last 12 months, while Liverpool monitor the situation keenly following Virgil van Dijk's age and Joe Gomez's future. Forest are bracing for offers between £60m and £70m, valuing the 23-year-old Brazilian for his composure and left-footed quality.
