Nottingham Forest could sell Murillo in the summer of 2024 and could demand as big a fee as they got for Brennan Johnson when they sold him to Tottenham Hotspur.
Journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic, who has asserted Forest’s position on Murillo, says as much.
What then has been said about Murillo and Nottingham Forest? Let’s examine this.
Murillo could be sold by Nottingham Forest.
Journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic claims that Nottingham Forest may sell Murillo in the summer of 2024.
According to the publication, Forest expects Murillo to be in high demand at the end of the season. Forest recently signed Nuno as their new manager after firing Steve Cooper.
Ornstein has mentioned that the Reds will expect a price comparable to what they received for Brennan Johnson if they decide to sell the 21-year-old central defender in the summer of 2024.
In the summer of 2023, Tottenham signed Johnson, a forward for Wales, from Forest. Spurs paid transfer fees totaling £47.5 million.
“I haven’t heard of anything for January, Jack, but he is one who Forest expect to generate interest in the summer,” Ornstein responded in a Q&A with The Athletic when asked if there is any real interest in Murillo in January.
“The Johnson sale has raised the bar remarkably, so a large fee will be required to let go of players like Murillo or MGW.”
Murillo is one of Nottingham Forest’s best players.
Murillo has been one of Nottingham Forest’s greatest performers thus far this season, in my opinion.
In the summer of 2023, the 21-year-old left Corinthians to join Forest. He arrived at City Ground towards the end of the window and did not play in the Reds’ preseason.
Murillo has made 11 appearances in the Premier League so far this season. Forest are 17th in the league table at the moment with 14 points from 17 matches, five points above third-from-bottom Luton Town, who have played 16 games.
