Report has it that Chelsea have informed Forest that they will not match their valuation and are considering offering two players as part of their bid in order to offset the transfer fee.
Similarly, Atletico Madrid have also expressed a strong interest in signing Murillo and have already held talks with the defender’s representatives.
However, the Spanish club are also put off by Forest’s £50m asking price.
Speaking last week on Brazilian show Os Donos da Bola, Murillo indicated that he is open to leaving Forest after just one season.
‘I’ve received a few offers. Some official, others sounding out,’ Murillo said.
‘I’ll take it up with my agent. They were clubs from England, Italy and Germany.
‘If I stay at Nottingham, I’ll do my best. If I leave, I hope they respect my decision. I’m calm and analysing it in the best way.’ He concludes!
