Palmeiras center-back Murilo is celebrating another birthday wearing the green-and-white shirt this Friday. Since joining the club, this is the fifth time the defender has marked the date at Verdão. In 2026, Murilo turns 29.

In a celebratory mood, the player recalled memorable moments from his journey at Palmeiras, spoke about his expectations for the season, and highlighted the rewards he has been reaping.

“I said at the beginning of the year that it was going to be the best year of my life and, thank God, I’ve been working very hard, I’ve been very focused so I can help all my teammates. It’s been a very good year. I was able to score in the Paulista final, I was able to help the club and all my teammates and, of course, become Paulista champion,” he said.

“I’m sure it’s going to be a memorable year, in the name of Jesus, always giving my all on the field, always being able to help bring more titles, which is what we always want here at Palmeiras,” he added.
