‘Robust, intelligent, one of the best advocates of the English Championship and one of the main reasons for Forest’s success’, are some of the praise for the player
Nottingham Forest hit the lottery when hiring the defender in 2023, for about 10 million pounds (R $ 72 million in the current price). This is what the English newspaper The Guardian states in a story in which the talent and future of the 22 -year -old defender are praised.
Highlight of the campaign that puts the ascendant Nottingham Forest in the third place of the English Championship so far, in the group of classifieds to the next champions league and ahead of giants such as Manchester City and Chelsea, Murillo is already speculated in major clubs in Europe and could be Sold for R $ 360 million. Which can represent a profit to Corinthians, which still has 10% of the athlete’s rights.
“Robust, intelligent, one of the best advocates of the English Championship and one of the main reasons for Forest’s success,” are some of the compliments for Murillo, who has already given the first call to the Brazilian team last year, thanks to his performance in England. “He wasn’t playing much when I was there,” Joe Worrall, former Forest defender and Murillo’s companion, told Guardian. “The then technician (Steve Cooper) was quite reluctant to put it. I don’t know why, because he’s a super talent. ”
“If you watched him training, he would think he’s the number 10. You would say, ‘No way he’s a defender,’ because obviously he’s a strong, big, but not the highest feet. He is a very, very good soccer player. He is fast, strong, can head, read the danger very well. He is in the right place at the right time. It is worth much more than 50 million pounds in my eyes. It will be a scam if Forest let him leave for a penny less, ”said Worrall.
