PSG wants to recruit Murillo!

What will the PSG version 2024-25 look like? On March 20, no one really knows. But Luis Campos, Luis Enrique and the capital club already have some ideas to make tweaks and improve the team. The priority project will be to replace Kylian Mbappé (25 years old). At the end of his contract, the Frenchman will join Real Madrid on a free basis. In recent weeks, several names have been mentioned here and there. Victor Osimhen (Naples), Rafael Leão (AC Milan), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) and more recently Luis Diaz (Liverpool) have been linked to Paris Saint-Germain.

But the residents of the Parc des Princes also want to recruit in other positions, notably in central defense where the Spanish coach has had to tinker with the numerous injuries. In addition to long-term absentees like Presnel Kimpembe and Milan Skriniar, Marquinhos was also on the flank. Moreover, the door is not closed on the Parisians side for the Brazilian to leave soon. Danilo and Lucas Hernandez also helped out in this position, where the young Lucas Beraldo is improving. For all these reasons and certainly others, leaders are exploring the defender market.

PSG hunts in the Premier League

This had already been the case during the winter transfer window. In the tough at Bayern Munich, Matthijs de Ligt was approached. But the Germans had closed the door. For this summer, Parisians are looking towards England. Indeed, the Daily Mail reveals that PSG is following Murillo with interest. Aged 21, this Brazilian central defender plays for Nottingham Forest. A club with which the native of São Paulo has played 27 matches in all competitions this season, all as a starter in the left axis (1 assist). His profile appeals to PSG. But not only. The English media explains that FC Barcelona is also on the case.

Same thing for Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle, all charmed by the player who played for Corinthians. An element which has regularly received praise from the British press since his arrival at Forest last summer. But number 40, whose contract ends in June 2028, could leave very quickly. Especially since his club may have to sell players to avoid again breaking the rules of financial fair play in the Premier League. On Monday, Nottingham Forest, which was deducted 4 points by the English league, will therefore have to fight to try to retain its young talent, cited among the potentially sacrificed players. A good deal that PSG wants to seize. The misfortune of one person makes the happiness of others.
