Defender Murillo has officially extended his tenure at Nottingham Forest. The 23-year-old Brazilian has signed a new contract that keeps him at the club until the summer of 2030.

This marks the second time the player has extended his deal with the club. Murillo noted that this decision is significant for his career and reflects the trust placed in him by the coaching staff and club management. He also took the opportunity to thank the fans for their continued support.

This is already my second contract extension with the club—I am very happy. It is a dream, it is really important for me, my family, and my career. It shows how important I am to the team and that they trust me. Murillo

Throughout the current campaign, the Brazilian has become a vital component of the defense, making 39 appearances and scoring two goals. His consistent performance had reportedly drawn interest from top-tier clubs such as Liverpool and Chelsea, but the player has opted to commit his future to the Tricky Trees.

Currently, the team sits 16th in the Premier League table with 43 points. The season concludes today, May 24, with a final match against Bournemouth.
