Liverpool, Chelsea in Race for £70m-rated Nottingham Forest Defender

Liverpool and Chelsea are locked in a race to sign Nottingham Forest defender Murillo, with both clubs reportedly showing strong interest in the 23-year-old starlet.

Chelsea have reportedly done the most extensive groundwork over the past 12 months, positioning themselves as serious contenders. Liverpool, meanwhile, are watching with intensity as they look to secure a ball-playing centre-back to supplement their ageing defensive line.
