"VAN" (Sports Desk - 22.01.2025) :: Nottingham Forest defender Murillo has signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2029.
The 22-year-old Brazilian, who joined from Corinthians on Transfer Deadline Day in August 2023, has emerged as a key player for Nuno Espirito Santo's side, who are currently third in the Premier League.
"I’m very thankful and very happy that there are four more years to come. I’m thankful to everyone for the support – not just to me, but to my family as well,” Murillo told the club’s official website.
Everywhere I go, every shop, wherever it is, they treat my family and I really well. So, I’m very grateful for everything they do for myself and for the team.
"I’m sure that we’ve got a big future in front of us."
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis said: "We dream big, and so does he. He believes in the power of what we are doing at this great Club. When we share the same bold ambitions, there is no limit to what we can achieve together.”
In 2023/24, Murillo was named the Club’s Player of the Season while he scored his first career goal against Newcastle United in November.
