According to British media Footballinsider247, Chelsea intends to introduce Nottingham Forest center back Murillo in the winter window to strengthen the back line.

So far this season, Chelsea has achieved 3 wins, two draws and two losses in the Premier League, temporarily ranking 7th in the standings. Due to the team's defensive problems, as well as injuries, suspensions and other factors, the Blues have great difficulties in continuing to climb up the standings. Colwell's injury at the start of the season sparked concerns about a lack of substitutes, and Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana also suffered injuries.

Therefore, Chelsea will work hard to sign a central defender in the winter window. This position has become Maresca's priority for reinforcement.
