This past summer, Paris Saint-Germain was linked to Nottingham Forest defender Murillo as the Ligue 1 side looked to bolster their center-back position.
PSG eventually signed Willian Pacho, who has hit the ground running for the capital club. Nonetheless, the central defense could still be improved, whether during the January window or next summer.
Last season at the City Ground, the Brazilian significantly impressed, playing a crucial role in ensuring the team avoided relegation from the Premier League. Another campaign where he takes steps to improve could result in teams like PSG calling for Murillo.
The capital club have Marquinhos but after that Lucas Beraldo is still young and finding his way, Lucas Hernandez is coming off a serious injury, and Milan Skriniar is a player PSG failed to offload this past summer.
Football Insider reports that if the French giants want the Brazilian in the future, he could be had for the right price. According to their information, Nottingham Forest would reluctantly sell Murillo if they receive a big offer. The 22-year-old has been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

In July, the center-back explained why he opted to stay with the Premier League side despite the rumors linking him to other clubs.
“Staying here for another season will enable me to mature as a player and eventually become better prepared if the chance ever comes to play at another level one day,” Murillo said.
“Of course, I want to eventually play in the Champions League. When I was growing up, I’d play video games and play with all those teams. Whenever I hear that classic music before the games, it moves me, and it would be a dream to play in that competition.”
