Latest on Murillo’s transfer: what’s been said and what we currently know about the Nottingham Forest star being targeted
Latest Nottingham Forest news: The Reds defender is the focus of a lot of summer window transfer talk. This summer, Murillo’s future at Nottingham Forest has been a major talking point, and it doesn’t seem like the conversation will slow down anytime soon.
Many clubs took notice of the center-back’sadaptabilityto English football during his first season with the Reds. And as a result, there is no shortage of transfer rumors circulating regarding the Brazilian.
With nearly two months remaining, the window has been open for little over a week. With Murillo at the center of attention, NottinghamshireLive summarizes the current state of affairs.
Murillo was acquired by Forest from Corinthians last summer for a meager £11 million. From the beginning of his Reds career, when he easily adjusted to the Premier League, the fee appeared reasonable; now, it appears even better.
With 36 appearances, the defender solidified his spot in the starting lineup for the previous season. Though it is not for lack of trying, as he has rapidly established himself as a brilliant worker, he has yet to score his first goal in the Garibaldi.
Murillo, who earnedly won the club’s player of the season award, was a major factor in Nuno Espirito Santo’s team’s survival. His form meant that other teams were bound to take notice.
Anyone up for this?
Saying who isn’t could be quicker! There have been links between Arsenal, Real Madrid, PSG, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Barcelona. There are reports that Atletico Madrid has had discussions with his delegates.
According to reports, Juventus enquired about “the conditions of” a possible deal. But it appears that the Italian powerhouses are no longer in the running for his signature because they can’t fit another non-EU player into their lineup.

The Blues are one of the teams monitoring the 21-year-old as well. According to recent reports, the Stamford Bridge team thought the Reds’ valuation of more than £60 million was excessive. They might, however, take into consideration a cash-plus-players offer, with Trevor Chalobah potentially being a part of any agreement.
Since then, Murillo has reaffirmed Chelsea’s interest. In an interview with journalist Benjamin Back for his Benja Me Mucho YouTube channel (translated via Premier League Brasil), he responded to the rumour of a £70 million transfer by saying, “I don’t know if it’s 70 (million), but I know there was a buzz of interest.” Thus, while I am unsure of the precise amount, I am aware that interest was paid.
It remains to be seen if other teams take a shot in the upcoming days, weeks, and months. Premier League teams have until August 30 at 11 p.m. to finalize their transfer arrangements.
The PSR status of Forest
Before the end of last month, the Reds were able to avoid a situation in which they might have had to think about selling Murillo for a low price in order to comply with the Profitability and Sustainability Rules. That is a very good thing.
However, it’s unlikely that interest in one of their star players will fade. However, since the June 30 accounting deadline has passed, the club should now be in a better position to evaluate and handle any offers for Murillo on their own terms, should they materialize.

It seems like Murillo is planning to make a move soon. In the aforementioned interview, he was asked about his choice to sign with the Reds and replied, “It was my opinion, because I had the dream of playing in the Premier League and I had that thought.” “I’ll head to Nottingham Forest, have a great year, and then I’ll head to a big club,” I declared. That was on my mind.
The defender, whose contract runs through 2028, stated in an earlier interview that he has received a few offers. A few formal, some voicing their opinions. I will discuss it with my manager. These were German, Italian, and English clubs.
“I will try my hardest if I stay in Nottingham. I hope they honor my choice if I leave. I’m composed and doing the best analysis I can.”
After the season’s last game, head coach Nuno acknowledged that interest in some of his best players would inevitably arise this summer. He stated: You have to acknowledge that certain players in our roster will undoubtedly draw attention given how we concluded this season.
