Chelsea are targeting Nottingham Forest’s £70 million-rated defender Murillo. Chelsea have made initial inquiries about Murillo and Forest have informed them that he would cost £70m. Chelsea have suggested Trevoh Chalobah as part of the offer. Murillo moved to the City Ground from Corinthians last summer and impressed in his inaugural campaign.

Chelsea hope to boost their chances of signing Murillo by including Trevoh Chalobah as part of a bid for the Nottingham Forest defender.

Chelsea have expressed interest in signing Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo. The 21-year-old caught the eye in his debut campaign with Forest and is seen as an ideal fit in Chelsea's youth-oriented project. Chelsea are exploring a potential swap deal which would see a handful of players move to Forest in exchange.
