Juventus have approached Nottingham Forest to inquire about defender Murillo, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. However, any deal is expected to be “expensive and difficult.”

Forest are working to bring in cash before Sunday’s PSR deadline by selling Orel Mangala and Moussa Niakhate to French club Lyon. While these sales will ease financial pressure at the City Ground, Nottingham Forest still faces interest in their other players.

Chelsea have inquired about Murillo, and now Juventus has also shown interest. The Italian giants admire the Brazilian center-back and are exploring what it would take to bring him to Turin.

However, any deal is expected to be “expensive and difficult” since Nottingham Forest is reluctant to sell. With Niakhate already having left, losing Murillo as well would be a significant blow to the club.

It remains uncertain whether Juventus will proceed with an offer to persuade Nottingham Forest to part with Murillo.
