Liverpool want £70m Brazil star to replace Van Dijk | OneFootball

Liverpool ready £70m offer for Murillo

Top-level talents in the shape of Nico Schlotterbeck and Alessandro Bastoni have been linked. But the ideal solution may well be lurking in the lower reaches of the Premier League.

According to a report in TEAMtalk Liverpool are preparing to trigger a bid for Murillo - Nottingham Forest’s 23-year-old defensive standout.

“They could table a substantial bid around the €80 million mark (£69.4m, $92.5m) this summer to bolster their rearguard and with the Brazilian regarded as a possible long-term option to step into the ageing Virgil van Dijk’s shoes,” the report reads.
