The Brazilian joined the Reds from Corinthians just 12 months ago and went on to have an impressive first season in English football.
He has described it as “living a dream” but his form has led to a string of teams eyeing up a move for the centre-back this summer with Murillo has saying himself that his future on Trentside is still uncertain.
“When things are good, we get used to them very quickly. I knew the responsibility I was taking on because it has always been my dream to play in the Premier League. Ever since I had the first contact, when there were these inquiries from clubs in England, I was very happy.”
On the Premier League clubs who had expressed an interest, Murillo added: “It was Nottingham… Crystal Palace had also been interested. They weren’t big clubs, like that. I think Wolverhampton. Teams like that.”
