Real Madrid eyeing Murillo

Murillo has admirers at the Santiago Bernabeu

Real Madrid are keeping a close watch on Murillo, according to SPORT. The report adds that Barcelona also have their eyes on the Brazilian defender.

Murillo has been a revelation for Nottingham Forest since arriving at the City Ground last summer. He has been a rock at the back this season, helping them climb up to fifth in the Premier League table.

His efforts have convinced Los Blancos, who are in urgent need of defensive reinforcements. The LaLiga champions lost Eder Militao to an ACL injury earlier this month, while David Alaba is yet to return from a long-term injury.

Real Madrid want to address the situation by roping in Murillo. However, the 22-year-old is under contract with the English side until 2028, so prising him away in the winter won't be easy.

Los Blancos want Goncalo Inacio

Goncalo Inacio

Real Madrid are ready to battle Manchester United for the services of Goncalo Inacio, according to Fichajes. The Portuguese defender has been impressive for Sporting CP.

However, with Ruben Amorim leaving the club to take charge of the Red Devils, speculation is ripe about Inacio's future. Recent reports have suggested that the 23-year-old could follow his former manager to Old Trafford in 2025.

However, Los Blancos are ready to ruin Manchester United's plans. The LaLiga giants are also in the market for a new defender amid a mini-crisis at the back. Inacio could be the answer to their defensive issues and could be a long-term partner for Eder Militao.

Real Betis not in talks for Dani Ceballos' return

Dani Ceballos

Real Betis legend Joaquin Sanchez, now a member of the club's sporting management, has claimed that they are not in talks to bring Dani Ceballos back. The Spaniard's future at Real Madrid remains up in the air and he has been linked with a return to the Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Ceballos has struggled for game time under Carlo Ancelotti this season, registering just six appearances across competitions. He has amassed 108 minutes of first-team football in total, igniting talk of a possible exit in 2025.

However, speaking recently as cited by Mundo Deportivo, Sanchez acknowledged that a move in the winter is unlikely.

"Ceballos will always be an important footballer, as you said the other day, he feels at home. It’s true that there were even contacts this summer, but in the end, no agreement was reached. Well, right now there is nothing,” said Joaquin.

"Because he is a Real Madrid player and you have to be careful with those things. The winter market is also more complicated. Of course, Ceballos will always be at home here and we’re talking about a different footballer,” he added.

Ceballos is under contract with Los Blancos until 2027.
