Murillo, the rising star of the forest, expected to fetch a price of over £40M as top clubs show interest

The 22-year-old has attracted interest from top clubs such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Manchester United, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid since joining Forest.

He said Forest was “the best place”  for his career at the moment as he progresses into a world class defender at the club with eyes around Europe watching his development. 

Boscolo expects some big teams to cast their eye over both him and Nikola Milenkovic who made the switch to the club from Fiorentina this summer. 

"Milenkovic has had an important objective impact,” Boscolo told Radio Firenze Viola. “He plays with Murillo, a Brazilian born in 2002 who will be a protagonist in the market for the big teams, I think he could be worth at least 50M"

January could be the opening a number of clubs need to put in the right bid for Murillo as he would not be able to resist the call from a bigger club who could help him progress into a world class defender.
