PSG eventually signed Willian Pacho, who has made an immediate impact for the capital club. Nonetheless, the central defense might be upgraded, either in the January window or next summer.
Last season at the City Ground, the Brazilian made a major impact, helping the squad avoid relegation from the Premier League. Another campaign in which he works to improve might lead to teams like PSG asking for Murillo.
The capital club has Marquinhos, but Lucas Beraldo is still young and finding his feet, Lucas Hernandez is recovering from a bad injury, and Milan Skriniar is a player PSG failed to transfer this summer.
According to Football Insider, if the French giants desire the Brazilian in the future, he could be available for a reasonable fee. According to their understanding, Nottingham Forest would be reluctant to sell Murillo if they received a large offer. The 22-year-old has been linked to both Barcelona and Real Madrid.
In July, the center-back stated why he chose to remain with the Premier League club despite speculations tying him to other clubs.
“Staying here for another season will enable me to mature as a player and eventually become better prepared if the chance ever comes to play at another level one day,” Murillo told the press.
“Of course, I want to play in the Champions League. When I was younger, I used to play video games and join various teams. Whenever I hear that legendary music before the games, it moves me, and it would be an honor to compete in that competition.”
