Nottingham Forest defender Murillo could be worth €50m in future as he continues to impress in the Premier League.

That’s according to Nikola Milenkovic’s agent Andrea Boscolo, who has been singing the praises of the Nottingham Forest defender to Radio Firenze Viola.

Milenkovic joined Nottingham Forest in a €14.3m deal in the summer as part of a busy window that saw Nuno Espirito Santo’s side strengthening in several areas.

He’s quickly become a key player at his new club, sitting on the bench for the opening game against Bournemouth before then playing 90 minutes in wins over Southampton and Liverpool and a draw with Wolves.

Each of those games have seen him partnered with Murillo in central defence and starting to form a strong defensive pairing in the heart of Nottingham Forest’s defence.

Murillo has been earning rave reviews since joining from Corinthians in August 2023 and has already been the subject of interest from teams higher up the Premier League.

And it seems the admiring glances are not just coming from outside of the club either, as his teammates agent predicted a big transfer in future for the player.

“Milenkovic has had an important objective impact,” he said when asked about his client’s move to the Premier League.

“He plays with Murillo, a Brazilian born in 2002 who will be a protagonist in the big-league market, I think he could be worth at least €50m.

“Milenkovic, for his part, with the experience he has is making the difference. Nottingham is having a good start to the season and won at Anfield against Liverpool thanks also to a great performance from the former Viola player.”
