According to the Brazilian outlet, Nottingham Forest will only consider opening talks for Murillo if the offer reaches at least €70m (£60m). RTI game.
The report adds that interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur has intensified ahead of the 2026/27 season. However, Forrest's stance is clear. They are not willing to negotiate below that figure.
This appears to be the most concrete assessment that has come forward so far. Previous reports in Brazil had suggested a range between £50m and £70m (€58m-€81m). Now, the indication is that Forrest will only start discussions from the upper end of that spectrum.
Murillo, 23, is in his third season at the City Ground after joining from Corinthians in 2023. Forest paid €14m (£12m) for the defender at the time. His market value in Brazil is currently estimated at around €55m (£47m), underlining the scale of his rise.
Nottingham Forest set strong benchmark
Setting the €70 million (£60 million) floor sends a strong message to Tottenham and other interested clubs. Spurs will likely be looking for a central defender in the summer, with a number of players in doubt.
Nottingham Forest see Murillo as a cornerstone of their defensive structure and a premium asset on the market.
There are other suitors for her across Europe. A few weeks ago, AC Milan considered €30 million price tag 'unrealistic'So they will definitely not like this update. For Bayern Munich, They know Murillo 'won't be cheap'.
Their profile explains the demand. He is a left-footed player, physically imposing and comfortable passing the ball forward. At 23, he also fits the recruitment model of clubs looking for a long-term defensive solution.
Forest's league position may prompt speculation, but there is no sign they are under pressure to sell. Instead, the message is that any buyer should find a price that reflects both performance and capability.
Financial turmoil back in Brazil
Any deal worth €70m (£60m) would also have implications for Brazil. As we recently coveredWhen Corinthians transferred Murillo retained 10% of the profits from future sales.
Based on a €14m (£12m) initial fee, a sale of €70m (£60m) would yield a profit of €56m (£48m). Ten percent of this would give Corinthians around €5.6m (£4.8m), before including solidarity payments.
At present, no formal stance has been taken. However, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham all credited with interest, Nottingham Forest have effectively drawn a line in the sand.
What happens next depends on whether any of those clubs are prepared to match the €70m (£60m) benchmark.
