This past summer, Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in Nottingham Forest defender Murillo as they looked to strengthen their center-back options.
Ultimately, PSG decided to sign Willian Pacho, who has quickly made an impact at the club. Still, central defense remains an area that could be improved, whether in January or next summer.
Murillo was instrumental in helping Nottingham Forest avoid relegation from the Premier League last season, proving his talent. If he continues to progress this season, it’s likely that top clubs like PSG will be keeping an eye on him.
Nonetheless, the Parisians wouldn’t be the only club keen on the Brazilian should they revisit their interest from the summer. Recently, rumors link the defender to Chelsea and Liverpool as they look to bolster their backline.

SPORT reports that Real Madrid and Barcelona are both interested in the progress of Murillo. Nonetheless, the information doesn’t reveal whether it’s a target they want to pursue the 22-year-old this upcoming January window or if it’s a long-term interest and they’ll seek the player next summer.
Football Insider reported last month that despite interest from clubs, Nottingham Forest Forest are in no rush to part with the center-back, who is under contract until 2028, after his impressive start to the season.
