Chelsea and Bayern Munich both look to be involved in the race to sign Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo, according to Christian Falk.

Writing in the latest edition of his exclusive CF Bayern Insider column, Falk discussed Murillo’s situation and asking price after his superb form at Forest.

The talented Brazilian will surely earn the chance to join a bigger club at some point, and this is not the first time we’ve seen Chelsea linked with him.

Murillo has been talked up as a Chelsea target for some time now, including by outlets such as Football Insider, and the 23-year-old would certainly fit the Blues’ strategy of recruiting the world’s best young players.

Where next for Murillo as Chelsea and Bayern Munich linked with transfer?

Discussing Murillo as an option for Bayern, Falk stated that the impressive young defender would likely cost around €50m and also be a target for Chelsea if he moves in the near future.

“It is TRUE: Bayern Munich have added Murillo to their shortlist. This is because they don’t know what’s going to happen with their own defensive talent in the near future,” Falk said.
