JUST IN: Nottingham Forest owner (Evangelos Marinakis) reveal Official mouthwatering Murillo pricetag after confirmation of CB City Ground uncertain future.
Nuno Espirito Santo is well aware of Murillo’s importance, having labelled him as a ‘huge’ player for Nottingham Forest, so he’ll be doing all he can to keep him at the City Ground.
The Brazilian has formed a dominant partnership with Nikola Milenkovic at the heart of the defence, which has gone a long way towards transforming the Reds’ fortunes.
They’ve gone from a side constantly being hammered for their defensive issues to a team that is now being highlighted for its defensive excellence.
However, the rise in form of Murillo could come at a cost with clubs from all over Europe taking a liking to his performances this season.
Interestingly, there has been a new price tag suggested for Murillo as Evangelos possibly looks to eek out every penny should he decide a sale is the right decision.
What does Murillo’s future look like at Nottingham Forest?
Murillo could have a big decision to make in the summer, depending on where Nottingham Forest finish the table this season.
The Brazilian deserves to be playing Champions League football, though there isn’t a rush as such as he’s still very young and has plenty of years ahead of him.
Marinakis has already shown his willingness to cash in on assets when they appreciate so much in value, with Brennan Johnson’s exit an example of that.
But this is slightly different as Forest now have the chance to secure European qualification this season, which has been a dream of the owners.
