Overview
- Multiple reports say United have the 23-year-old on a shortlist to bolster central defense if Harry Maguire leaves at season’s end.
- Maguire’s contract expires this summer, and he is now free to speak with other clubs after a season of limited starts.
- Murillo is reported to be open to a move next summer despite signing an improved four-and-a-half-year deal with Forest in January 2025.
- Forest are seen as unlikely to sell during the January window, with a possible summer transfer influenced by European qualification.
- The left-sided Brazilian has impressed since a 2023 move from Corinthians for about £10–11 million, establishing himself as a regular starter and drawing wider interest.
