Nottingham Forest fans convinced Murillo has ‘already signed for somebody else’ after what happened vs Brighton Sun 1 March 2026 19:09, UK Nottingham Forest fans believe Murillo’s dip in form is due to the defender focusing on sorting out a move away from the club in the summer.Murillo has been linked with a move to Chelsea, with the 23-year-old having largely impressed since moving to the City Ground in 2023.The Brazilian remains a key figure in the Nottingham Forest team, and started the defeat at Brighton which continues to leave Vitor Pereira’s side hovering above the Premier League relegation zone.Despite a Morgan Gibbs-White goal, the Seagulls claimed all three points thanks to first half strikes from Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck.Credit: ImagoRead More: Ex-PGMOL chief: UEFA must ban Fenerbahce fans as scenes emerge after Nottingham Forest clash ⚽ Nottingham Forest Matchday ⚽ Team news, line-ups, expert previews and tactical analysis for every Nottingham Forest fixture. MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES The Tricky Trees have yet to see a new manager bounce from Pereira’s first two games in charge, with both matches ending in defeat.A two-point gap is all that keeps Nottingham Forest above the drop zone, with West Ham failing to move out of the bottom three with victory at Liverpool.One fan thinks even if safety is secured, the club will go through another “horrible year” due to likely player departures in the summer.Murillo’s summer move is “already sorted” according to one supporter, whilst another says “something feels off” with the defender’s performances lately.if by some miracle we avoid the drop, then you do what you can to keep ando and mgw, and if crazy offers come in then murillo is the one you cash in on first and foremost all day long #nffc— Adam Sliwinski (@sliwo1) March 1, 2026 View Tweet Even if we survive we will be even weaker next season after Anderson goes, and probably Murillo, and MGW, too.
So we would endure another horrible year like this. #nffc— Hannah Forest🔴⚪⚽ (@hannahforest) March 1, 2026 View Tweet Looks like Murillo thinks he’s already signed for somebody else.— Kevin Marriott (@KJMsport57) March 1, 2026 View Tweet I’ll be in the minority here, but I don’t see what Murillo is doing for us right now.
