It appears to be based on some stories quoting this interview where, when asked if he would be a Forest player next season he said "That's a tough one". If you watch how he said it though it's a good example of how it's very easy to make up a story with a quote taken out of context as it's clear from how he says it that he was joking around, and he goes on to say he's contracted to us.
If he had not had the injury problems he's had and scored at the rate he has across a full season I think he'd be another one that bigger clubs might be in for. He was linked pretty strongly with Chelsea when he was on his 5 goals in 5 games scoring run early in the season. But I don't think with the fitness issues he's had he is going to be top of anybody's shopping list at the moment.
Just saw a rumour linking Murillo with Liverpool and while that seems sensible all round, I still had a strong "please not there" reaction because my son has a Murillo shirt, and I have residual dislike.
Van Dijk plays on his side. If he goes, who does he learn from? Gomez is looking back to his best and could play the either side. Konate is good. Q is coming on.
If VD stays hard to see Murillo getting in. But they probably need another squad body at the back. They would probably look to develop him. Maybe in another role.
Liverpool have more money to burn than either Madrid of Barca, if we have to sell him, I’m not that bothered as to where he goes, highest bidder wins. Until Citeh actually are penalised for their spending, or Pep leaves the scouses aren’t winning the league…
Unsurprising link with Tsimikas. 28 now, makes sense from both sides - he'd be competing with Aina(?) and Williams for the two full-back positions (although he's only a possibility on the left), takes a decent corner. Ex-Olympiacos and Miltiadis gets to deal with Liverpool.
