Born in Cagliari, Murru started his career at hometown's Cagliari.

International career
After appearing with the under-17, under-18 and under-19's, Murru made his debut with the under-21 side on 5 March 2014, in a qualifying match against Northern Ireland. In June 2017, he was included in the Italy under-21 squad for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship by manager Luigi Di Biagio, but later had to withdraw from the team due to injury; he was replaced by Giuseppe Pezzella.
