According to the source, Real's bosses are considering Murillo as a replacement for Eder Militao, who is out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. The 22-year-old Nottingham Forest defender is showcasing his best qualities this season, attracting the attention of many European giants.

Real is prepared to buy Murillo for £40 million, but Nottingham Forest values their star at twice that amount. Notably, the Forest themselves purchased the defender from Corinthians for only £11 million in the summer of 2023.
