Scouting Report & Player Insights

Murillo is a physically imposing, athletic Brazilian centre-back who has become a key figure in Nottingham Forest's defence since arriving from Corinthians. He combines genuine recovery pace with aggressive, front-footed defending, often stepping out of the back line to intercept and carry the ball forward. His ball-playing ability and comfort under pressure have made him a fan favourite at the City Ground and a name increasingly linked with bigger Premier League moves. Discipline and shot/set-piece involvement remain lesser features of his game compared to his defensive duel-winning and aerial presence.

Joined Nottingham Forest from Corinthians and quickly became a regular starter in the Premier League.

Known for combining physical duel-winning defending with ball-carrying drives out of the back.
