Wolves have reportedly seen a first bid for Corinthians defender Murillo rejected.
Wanderers currently have just three centre-back options – Max Kilman, Craig Dawson and Toti Gomes.
There is a big hope that the club will be bringing in a new face before the end of the window
But the financial situation is still very tight right now.
And it is hindering Wolves in their desire to land targets.
Apparently, Wolves have made an offer for Murillo after opening talks – but it has been swiftly rejected.
It was worth around £10 million, and that was rejected by Corinthians.
Nottingham Forest are also said to have offer the same amount.
Interest in Murillo is pretty high at the moment. Italian clubs Fiorentina and Napoli are also said to have tabled offers for the highly rated 21-year-old.
It is stated that Corinthians are holding out for around £17 million to sell the central defender.
It is not clear if Wolves will be returning with a second, improved bid.
Wolves need a fourth centre-back
So Wolves seems to be quite interested in Murillo, to the extend that a bid has reportedly now gone in.
It looks as though some serious negotiating will be required.
With so many teams keen, Corinthians are surely unlikely to drop their asking price.
