Nottingham Forest anticipates high demand for its 21-year-old player and is seeking a high price to offload him.

Murillo may be sold by Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2024, and they may ask for a price comparable to what they received for Brennan Johnson when they traded him to Tottenham Hotspur.

Journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic has asserted Forest’s position over Murillo. What information has been released on Murillo and Nottingham Forest? Now let’s examine.

Murillo could be sold by Nottingham Forest.

As per journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic, Nottingham Forest may consider selling Murillo during the summer of 2024.

The reporter has stated that Forest, who fired Steve Cooper and named Nuno as their new manager, anticipates Murillo to be in high demand at the end of the season.

Ornstein has stated that should the Reds decide to let go of the 21-year-old central defender in the summer of 2024, they will ask for a price comparable to what they received for Brennan Johnson, the Wales international forward that Tottenham acquired from Forest in the summer of 2023 for £47.5 million in transfer fees (Sky Sports).

“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.

Thus, his performance for Forest and his speed in adjusting to Premier League standards are quite impressive. Not to mention that the Brazilian is only 21 years old currently.

Thus far this season, Murillo has made 11 appearances in the Premier League. With 14 points from 17 games, Forest is now sitting 17th in the league table, five points ahead of third-place Luton Town after 16 games.
