"Everywhere I go, every shop, wherever it is, they treat my family and I really well. So, I’m very grateful for everything they do for myself and for the team.
"I’m sure that we’ve got a big future in front of us."
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis said: "We dream big, and so does he. He believes in the power of what we are doing at this great Club. When we share the same bold ambitions, there is no limit to what we can achieve together.”
In 2023/24, Murillo was named the Club’s Player of the Season while he scored his first career goal against Newcastle United in November.
Overall, he has made 57 appearances in all competitions for Nottingham Forest.
His first match following his new deal will be away to AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.
