Real Madrid target Murillo to stay at Nottingham Forest
In September, reports linked Nottingham Forest defender Murillo with a potential move to Real Madrid. However, it seems the "Whites" will have to look elsewhere for reinforcements.
Details: According to Sky Sports, the 22-year-old Brazilian is set to sign a new contract with Nottingham Forest, despite having three and a half years remaining on his current deal.
Securing Murillo with a long-term commitment has been a top priority for manager Nuno Espírito Santo and club owner Evangelos Marinakis this January, even though the existing contract runs for an extended period. The terms of the new agreement remain undisclosed.
Reminder: Besides Real Madrid, previous reports mentioned Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich as clubs interested in the Nottingham Forest center-back.
