2025 Fantasy Outlook
Combining Murillo with Nikola Milenkovic, Nottingham Forest's central defense was a key part to their 2024/25 season. Murillo steadily improved in his second Premier League season and started all but two matches, playing through numerous minor ailments. He reached almost seven clearances per game to go with 11 clean sheets. He's less of a threat on sets than Milenkovic, which means he's unlikely to improve much on his two goals and zero assists, though there's no reason all of his numbers can't look fairly similar in the 2025/26 campaign.
Extends contract with Nottingham
Murillo (hamstring) signed a new deal with Nottingham Forest until the summer of 2030, the club announced Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Murillo is now tied to Forest for one additional year, as his previous contract went through 2029. The center-back was a primary factor in his side's success that led them to the Europa League semifinals in the 2025/26 campaign. Although his involvement has been limited by injuries, he finished his third season with the club with totals of 47 tackles, 43 interceptions and 156 clearances over 39 matches played across all competitions. He also made his Brazilian national team debut in 2025, but he hasn't been called up since then.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reds set to submit offer?
Liverpool are expected to submit a $80 million to sign Murillo, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
Murillo is a strong candidate to leave Nottingham Forest due to his impressive performances throughout the 2025/26 season. Liverpool are expected to target a center-back in the summer, especially if Ibrahima Konate departs the club, and Murillo seems to be high in the team's shortlist. It remains to be seen if an $80 million would be enough to land the Brazilian, though.
