According to insiders who spoke to Football Insider, Nottingham Forest will ask for much more than £20 million for Murillo this summer.
Transfer reporter Pete O’Rourke stated in the most recent episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast that the Reds could want a “huge” fee for 21-year-old Murillo following his outstanding first season at the City Ground.
The defender is reportedly attracting interest from Premier League powerhouses Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United in addition to Paris Saint-Germain.
This week (April 14), Football Insider was informed by reliable sources that Forest might be obliged to sell Murillo this summer because they may need to approve player sales due to concerns about their viability and profitability.
Murillo’s Nottingham Forest will seek a “huge” price.
He left Brazilian team Corinthians to join the Midlands club for an alleged £15 million last summer, and he has since flourished in Forest’s defense.
The Brazilian has started every Premier League match he has been eligible for since his arrival, making him a mainstay under both Steve Cooper and Nuno Espirito Santo this season.
The relegation-threatened Reds may have to sanction player sales before 30 June to balance their books and avoid another devastating points deduction.
