Murillo’s Nottingham Forest exit now ‘inevitable’

Murillo’s Nottingham Forest exit now ‘inevitable’

Nottingham Forest are bracing themselves to lose defender Murillo next summer after his stellar form, sources told Football Insider.

The 22-year-old has caught the eye of top European clubs with his performances in the 2024-25 season.

Murillo has been widely linked with potential moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​while Nottingham Forest turned down offers from Premier League sides in the most recent summer transfer window.

Sources say the left-footed defensive ace’s exit is now “inevitable” next year following his rise to stardom in England.

The Sao Paulo-born ace has played 90 minutes in each of Forest’s five Premier League games this season.

He formed a formidable partnership with Nikola Milenkovic, who arrived at the City Ground in the summer.

Murillo has a contract with the Midlands club until June 2028, after arriving from Corinthians in 2023.

The defender made 41 appearances for Forest, 37 of which were in the Premier League.

Nottingham Forest paid an estimated fee of just £12.5million after add-ons for the 22-year-old star.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s side are eighth in the Premier League table, having conceded just four goals in five games.

Forest, who are yet to lose in the 2024-25 season, are in action again against Fulham on Saturday (September 28).

In other news, Nottingham Forest are set to begin talks between Morgan Gibbs and White.
