According to Globo.com, Vasco da Gama is interested in Murilo, a 29-year-old Brazilian defender from Palmeiras. As part of a search for a right-footed defender with strong aerial ability, Vasco da Gama sought information on several players, including Murilo. The Vasco board has admired Murilo since the previous year and made a new approach after Palmeiras signed Alexander Barboza. In response, Palmeiras stated that the player would not lose his status in the squad, that negotiations for his contract renewal were at an advanced stage, and that there were no advanced negotiations between the clubs. Murilo joined Palmeiras in January 2022, has made 15 appearances in the current Série A season with one goal and one assist, and has not yet been capped by the Brazilian national team. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €5.00m, and CSKA Moskva has also been linked with the player.
