Mid-table outfit Nottingham Forest may find themselves under siege for one of their most prized possessions after star centre-back Murillo continues to be linked with interest from French giants Paris Saint Germain per Football Insider via PSG Talk.
Murillo (22) has become a key performer at The City Ground since his arrival from Brazilian side Corinthians last summer, featuring on 32 occasions last season and becoming a leading light while Forest avoided the drop down the Championship.
🚨 Nottingham Forest would reluctantly sell Murillo if they receive a big offer.
The 22-year old has been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

His bright start in the 2024-25 campaign under Nuno EspÃrito Santo in which Forest have tasted defeat in just one of their six Premier League outings (2-3-1) has only solidified PSG’s interest in the Sã0 Paulo-born defender.
Murillo, who opted to remain at the club this summer amid interest from other top clubs in Spanish rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona, still maintains a desire to play at the highest level in Europe. Such a desire could ultimately force Forest into selling the youngster for the right price should interest in his services materialise in a formal offer at some stage.
