Chelsea set to go all-in for Nottingham Forest superstar in 2025

Chelsea has been informed that if they hope to sign one of its center back targets anytime soon, they would need to pay a "huge fee." Since this is an area of the field where the Blues will undoubtedly need to strengthen, they will be considering a variety of center back options for the next transfer windows. There are going to be more names, but according to recent rumors, Chelsea has expressed interest in Ruben Dias.

According to recent sources, Chelsea is also interested in Nottingham Forest defender Murillo. However, according to a new rumor released this weekend, Chelsea would have to shell out a lot of money to re-sign the Brazilian center-back.

Chelsea would need to pay a "huge fee" to persuade Nottingham Forest to move Murillo, according to Football Insider. Chelsea is reportedly watching the Brazilian in an effort to sign the top young players in the globe.

Although the exact amount of the price is unknown, I have no doubt that Nottingham Forest will make every effort to hang onto all of their important players, Murillo most definitely being among them. Only a year after he moved from Corinthians for €12 million, Transfermarkt values him at €40 million, and Forest may demand much more. There might be a fire sale, though, if they decline this year.

When will Chelsea make their next signing?

There is a perception that we do not have the exceptional elite center defense to match our alternatives elsewhere, even though Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill have had a strong start to the campaign and Chelsea already have reliable backups. Although Colwill and Fofana have the potential to return to that threshold, Chelsea could observe their sporting directors aiming for that position next summer, except for goalkeeper. 

After Enzo Maresca themselves have evaluated the current crop in detail. Things could become really heated on this front if we start to see significant efforts to trade Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile.
