After a standout season in the Premier League, Murillo has caught the eye of a host of new clubs, both domestically and internationally.

Despite being contracted until 2029, there are numerous clubs circling for the Brazilian, who has recently made his debut for his national team.

Find out who could potentially sign the 22-year-old this summer.

Football

Real Madrid

Xabi Alonso is rumoured to be lining up a new centre back option on his arrival to the Bernabeu, with Murillo being a realistic option.

If Madrid wish to add more than just Dean Huijsen, then Murillo could potentially be prized away from Forest, albeit for more money than the Bournemouth man’s release clause.

Plenty of Brazilians have made the move from the Premier League to La Liga and Murillo could be joining the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo soon.

Man City

A summer rebuild is very much needed for Pep Guardiola's side, after a disappointing campaign, with a rare season of no silverware.

Man City have conceded 44 goals this season, 10 more than last campaign, with a game to go.

Signing a centre back would allow Josko Gvardiol to return to left back, where he had some attacking success previously, and Murillo would sure up the slightly leaky defence.

Liverpool

Potentially a long-term replacement for the ever-present Virgil Van Dijk, Murillo is Premier League proven and 11 years younger than the Dutchman.

Coupled with the fact Ibrahima Konate’s contract is up next year and a new deal has not been close to agreed yet, there could be movement in Merseyside.

Murillo could play next to Premier League icon and develop his game, before replacing the captain and this may be a significant pull for the Forest defender.

Chelsea

Having spent billions on new players since Todd Boehly’s takeover of the club, Chelsea haven’t been shy in the transfer market.

Despite this heavy spending, they still only sit 5th in the league but are in pole position to grab UEFA Champions League football over the likes of Forest.

This could be a factor that pulls Murillo towards Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea likely being more than happy to pay the commanded fee.

The Brazilian would arguably be the best defender at the club and could negotiate a hefty wage as a result.

PSG

The French champions are almost guaranteed silverware each year, with them dominating their domestic football and Forest’s player of the year 2023/24 is yet to win a major honour.

Furthermore, PSG are in the final of the UEFA Champions League and are favourites to win it so if they came calling, could Murillo turn down a potential treble winner?

He could be a long-term fixture in a PSG defence that could do with some strengthening considering main stay Marquinhos has only played 22 games in the league this season.
