The 21-year-old defender is closing in on a deal to move to Nottingham Forest from the Brazilian outfit this summer.

 

An agreement is in place between Nottingham Forest and Corinthians for the young centre-back to move to the City Ground in the ongoing transfer window.

 

 

 

Forest are paying a considerable fee for Murillo, who is untested in Europe, but is regarded highly in South American football.

 

According to Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte, Forest have agreed to pay an initial fee of €13m to Corinthians for the young defender.

 

 

The Midlands club will also pay a fee of €3m in further add-ons based on the player hitting specific targets during his time at Forest.

 

Murillo was wanted at several big clubs in Italy but preferred moving to the Premier League in the ongoing summer transfer window.

 

 

He is set to arrive in England soon to complete a medical and the formalities of the transfer to Nottingham Forest.
