This summer, Nottingham Forest will likely face transfer interest for Murillo due to financial issues at the City Ground.
Senior writer Pete O’Rourke stated that interest in the Brazilian and other elite players at the team is probably going to increase in the summer on the most recent episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast.
Forest is still facing the possibility of greater financial problems, which can force them to let go of several important players in order to balance the books.
This is in response to reports from sources close to Football Insider that Forest will have to offload players by June 30 in order to prevent losing more points.
To prevent future threats of point deductions, a £34 million violation of profit and sustainability regulations will need to be made up for.
Following transfer news, Murillo might depart from Nottingham Forest.
With 30 Premier League games played so far this year, Murillo has established himself as a vital member of the team battling relegation.
After paying a £11 million transfer fee to join the City Ground last summer, the 21-year-old Brazilian defender immediately established himself as one of the team’s most promising players.
Due to his impressive performances, he has drawn interest from other teams, and if Forest decides to cash in, he might be prepared to depart.
Football Insider sources previously revealed that Forest will have a fight on their hands to fend off interest even if they stay up this season.
Football Insider has also been informed by sources that Forest would only consider offers beyond £20 million, even with Liverpool showing interest.
Any reasonable price for Murillo will allow Forest to cash in big-time on a player they only purchased a year ago, which could help to balance the books.
