Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos (born 4 July 2002), simply known as Murillo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Nottingham Forest.

Early life

Born in São Paulo, Murillo lost his father, a lifelong supporter of Corinthians and the person who led him into playing futsal, at the age of 10.[1] He began his career with São Caetano in 2013, and subsequently played for ECUS and São Bernardo.

Career

Corinthians

Murillo joined Corinthians' youth setup in 2019, from União Barbarense.[2] On 16 January 2023, after playing for the under-20 side in the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he was promoted to the first team.[3]

On 10 February 2023, Murillo renewed his contract until the end of 2025.[4] He made his first team debut on 26 April, coming on as a second-half substitute for Bruno Méndez in a 2–0 home win over Remo, for the year's Copa do Brasil.[5]

Murillo made his Série A debut on 29 April 2023, starting in a 2–1 away loss against rivals Palmeiras.[6] He quickly became a regular starter under head coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo during the season, attracting interest of several European clubs, such as Napoli, Manchester City and West Ham United.[7]

Nottingham Forest

On 31 August 2023, Murillo signed with Premier League side Nottingham Forest on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[8] His fee was reported as €12 million with an additional €3 million in potential add-ons.[9] Murillo eventually made his debut against Brentford on 1 October 2023, five weeks after his arrival.[10]

Since his first appearance, the Brazilian has played 36 games for Nottingham Forest, four in the FA Cup and 32 in the Premier League.[11][12]

Since then, he has been a key player for the club, being named as Forest's 2023–24 player of the season in recognition of his performances.[13]
