Real Madrid linked with a summer move for Liverpool target. “It’s clear we would like him to stay, but negotiations are ongoing, so let’s see where that ends.

We wouldn’t be in negotiations if we didn’t want him to stay.” Liverpool signed Giovanni Leoni last summer, though he is currently sidelined with an ACL injury. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest defender Murillo is attracting interest from Liverpool, although the Brazilian recently signed a contract until 2029 and a move may only become possible if Forest are relegated.

Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Chelsea are also linked with a summer move for Murillo, with Lisandro Martinez’s recurring injury problems forcing the Red Devils to seek more reliable defensive options. Should United or another interested party – Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid are understood to be monitoring the Brazilian – make their move, it is thought his mind can be changed.” The 23-year-old already has significant Premier League experience and is widely regarded as a defender with his best years still ahead of him.
