Murillo has been causing quite a stir since making his move to Nottingham Forest last summer. It seems that his impressive performances have caught the attention of top Premier League teams such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool. This comes at a time when Forest is facing the very real possibility of relegation.
In fact, just this week, Forest was dealt a heavy blow with a four-point deduction for not following the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules. This has pushed them into the relegation zone, with only one point separating them from 17th-placed Luton Town. With only nine games left in the season, the pressure is on for Forest to turn things around.
Despite the potential appeal of the penalty, Forest is already starting to think about their summer transfer plans in order to avoid further financial issues. And among their most valuable assets is none other than Murillo, who was signed for a whopping £15 million from Corinthians. Since his arrival, Murillo has been a mainstay in the team, featuring in every league match and four out of five FA Cup games.
However, the question remains as to how much Forest would be able to sell him for, especially if they end up getting relegated to the Championship. It seems that there is no shortage of interested parties, with the Daily Mail reporting that many Premier League teams and European clubs are keeping a close eye on Murillo's progress. In fact, the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle are all monitoring his performance, with even PSG and Barcelona expressing interest.
But Murillo is not the only player on the chopping block for Forest. According to The Times, the club needs to make a profit of around £30 million from player sales in order to avoid another breach of the regulations. This means that at least one of their star players will have to be sold in the summer. Names such as midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White and striker Taiwo Awoniyi have been thrown into the mix as potential transfers.
It's a difficult situation for Forest to be in, but they know that they have to make tough decisions in order to maintain their financial stability. And with the summer transfer window looming, all eyes will be on Murillo and the other potential outgoing players. Only time will tell how this will all play out, but one thing is for sure - Forest will have to make some strategic moves to secure their future in the Premier League.
