In the first Premier League match of the season, Arne Slot began for Liverpool with Jarell Quansah and Virgil van Dijk in the center back position.

The Dutch manager has been employing Ibrahima Konate and Van Dijk as the favorite CB pairing since the young player’s lackluster performance in the first half of that match, and the two have been playing incredibly well this season.

The Merseysiders have only allowed nine goals and maintained ten clean sheets in their 17 Premier League and Champions League games.

However, the Reds have begun looking into ways to entice a new CB to replace Virgil van Dijk, whose contract is set to expire at the end of this season. Even if they opt to sign the Dutchman to a new contract, they will still need to sign a younger defender because he will turn 34 next year.

According to Mike Brown, a transfer expert on Football expert, Liverpool has expressed interest in signing Murillo, a star for Nottingham Forest, after being impressed by his performances in the Premier League.

Chelsea is also interested in him, and as the Reds have lost multiple times to the West London side in transfer battles, they will need to work hard to sign the Brazilian.

Forest is desperate to hang onto Murillo and has chosen not to sell him because, according to Brown, he has been “incredibly impressive” thus far this season.

According to reports, Nuno Espírito Santo’s team may reconsider their position if they receive an offer over £70 million. According to the transfer specialist:

This season, he has been tremendously impressive thus far. According to what I’ve been told, they’re making every effort to keep him at the club. Since joining the team, Murillo has significantly improved, and he has now performed well enough to draw interest from teams like Chelsea and Liverpool.

With just three points separating Nottingham Forest from fourth-place Arsenal in the Premier League, Murillo, a left-footed center-back, has contributed to Nottingham Forest’s outstanding start to the season.
