Atletico Madrid could raid Premier League outfit for 21-year-old Brazilian ace | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid are reportedly keen on improving their defensive unit with the signing of the Nottingham Forest defender Murillo.

The 21-year-old Brazilian has established himself as an important team player for the Premier League club and he helped them survive the drop last season. His performances have attracted the attention of the La Liga outfit, as per Fichajes. It remains to be seen whether Atletico Madrid can secure an agreement with Nottingham Forest in the coming weeks.

The 21-year-old would be a quality long-term investment for them, but he is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition. He has a contract with the English club until 2028, and they could easily demand a premium for him.

It will be interesting to see if Atletico Madrid are willing to pay up for him. They will need to improve defensively if they want to compete for major trophies next season. They are expected to be without Mario Hermoso next season and the Brazilian defender could be his replacement.
