I'm not going to Chelsea! I'd rather join Manchester City, says £50m Brazilian star, shutting down rumors of a move to the Blues!

 

The £50m Brazilian star, Murillo, has spoken out about his potential transfer to the Premier League. Despite confirmation of Chelsea's interest in acquiring him, Murillo has made it clear that he would prefer to join Manchester City instead. The 22-year-old defender has been impressing at Nottingham Forest, leading to reported interest from top clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool. However, Murillo's dream move is to join Manchester City, where he hopes to work under Pep Guardiola's guidance.

Murillo's preference for Manchester City is a significant blow to Chelsea, who were keen on signing him as a replacement for the departing Thiago Silva. Chelsea's unwillingness to meet Nottingham Forest's £50m valuation may have contributed to Murillo's decision, but it's clear that his heart is set on a move to the Etihad Stadium.

With Manchester City's strong interest in Murillo, it's likely that a bidding war will ensue. Chelsea may need to reconsider their offer or risk losing out on a top talent to their Premier League rivals. The transfer saga is far from over, and fans of both clubs will be eagerly watching to see where Murillo ultimately ends up.
