Nottingham Forest fans think Murillo could quit now after what he did

Nottingham Forest fans are concerned Murillo may have had his head turned by transfer speculation after his performances in pre-season.

The Brazilian centre-back has been heavily linked with a move away from the City Ground before 31 August, but no formal moves have been made yet.

However, fans think the speculation may have had an effect on his mental state after some inconsistent pre-season displays.

These performances were summed up as he gave away a penalty which was missed by Arnaut Danjuma in the 0-0 draw with Villarreal on 2 August.

As a result, fans took to social media to suggest he may look for a way out of the club this summer as his head is no longer at the City Ground, while others were heavily critical of his displays.

Interest from the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool had emerged during the summer, but Forest are under no pressure to sell.

Any concerns surrounding profit and sustainability rules were cast aside by the deals involving Orel Mangala and Moussa Niakhate before 30 June.

However, fans are now concerned Murillo could leave after all, with some suggesting his head has been turned by the interest in his signature.

Apparently people haven't been very happy with Murillo in pre-season? Is his head elsewhere? #nffc— Hannah Forest????⚪⚽ (@hannahforest) August 3, 2024

I’d like to see Murillo settle down a bit,his passing out has been a bit hit & miss & he’s given 2 penalties away, it’s pre season & as we all know he’s an amazing player but maybe he’s been a bit distracted with all the transfer rumours?

Reflecting on last night, Elanga had a poor game, also Murillo was patchy, hope it’s not because he has had his head turned #NFFC— WollatonRed (@RunswickRed) August 3, 2024

Genuinely think we should have cashed in on Murillo this summer. #nffc— Bradley (@BradleyWhite10) August 3, 2024

Murillo's head even in a friendly just isn't there— Deadpool (@Garibaldi1969) August 2, 2024

Murillo doing his best to put other clubs off so he stays at Forest, nice one lad ???????? #NFFC— . (@DanaBlack__UFC) August 2, 2024

It does seem to be a coincidence that he's started making sloppy errors as soon as he started publicly discussing a move away. ????????‍♂️ Maybe his head isn't right. Or maybe he just can't really be arsed in these friendlies. ????— Will Scarlet ???? (@ForestNews_Info) August 3, 2024

Others, meanwhile, questioned the standard of his performances ahead of the new season.

Looked good last night, plenty of positive performances, Neco, Elanga and Murillo were sloppy. Murillo has now given 2 pens away from 2 very rash challenges, passing seemed off too, seemed almost like he wanted to do the outstanding too often rather than the basics at times #nffc— DNOnMAZ9 (@DNOnMAZ9) August 3, 2024

Tf going on with Murillo two pens this pre season #nffc— Callum Smith (@NFFC_Callum) August 2, 2024

Murillo was dreadful— Forest Managers Office (@ForestManagers) August 3, 2024

Hope he’s not believing his own hype and isn’t a one season wonder!????— Kazza ???? ???????? (@TilehurstRed) August 2, 2024
