Caught Offside believe that while Chelsea remain keen on a reunion with Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi, they are seemingly willing to accept that any chance of a deal might be “slipping away” - and they could target Nottingham Forest’s Murillo as a result.

The Brazilian only inked a new contract at the turn of the year, but apparently there is an asking price on the table, a hefty €80m (£68.4million). Murillo has been “followed closely” by Chelsea for a while and is now emerging as a candidate for a big-money bid.
