Murillo
23-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Combining Murillo with Nikola Milenkovic, Nottingham Forest's central defense was a key part to their 2024/25 season. Murillo steadily improved in his second Premier League season and started all but two matches, playing through numerous minor ailments. He reached almost seven clearances per game to go with 11 clean sheets. He's less of a threat on sets than Milenkovic, which means he's unlikely to improve much on his two goals and zero assists, though there's no reason all of his numbers can't look fairly similar in the 2025/26 campaign.
Overcame illness
Murillo missed Saturday's clash with Everton due to an illness, according to manager Sean Dyche. "We had Murillo back after a week of being ill. We had to be careful with him."
ANALYSIS
Murillo had been struggling with a hamstring injury, but actually missed the clash with Everton due to an illness. The defender returned to action in the Europa League where he played 70 minutes. He should be available for Sunday's clash with Tottenham as well now that he's over the hamstring issue and illness.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Barcelona looking at him?
Barcelona are interested in making a move for Murillo, according to SPORT.
ANALYSIS
Barcelona need to sign a defender in January, and while they've been linked with several players, Murillo is the latest one to be included in the mix. The Nottingham Forest defender is one of the best center-backs in the Premier League, and he has the technical ability to be a reliable option for Los Blaugranas. A January move might be unlikely, but Barcelona are ready to make a strong push for the 23-year-old in the summer of 2026.
