Flamengo and Palmeiras face 2 European rivals for Botafogo's Danilo | OneFootball

Danilo is one of the main names on the transfer market

Flamengo are interested in signing defensive midfielder Danilo, currently at Botafogo and called up by the Brazil national team for the World Cup. However, competition for the midfielder continues to grow as the transfer window in Europe approaches.

According to journalist Valentin Furlan, Milan and Atalanta have made inquiries to Botafogo in recent weeks about Danilo. As a result, the Italian clubs have entered the fierce race for the General Severiano club’s midfielder.

STRONG COMPETITION FOR DANILO?

That said, Flamengo face a long list of rivals for Danilo. In addition to Milan, Atalanta and Palmeiras, Fulham (ENG), Manchester United (ENG) and Zenit (RUS) are also keeping an eye on Botafogo’s defensive midfielder.

WHAT IS BOTAFOGO DEMANDING?

To negotiate Danilo, Botafogo do not intend to make talks easy. That is because the defensive midfielder has been called up to the Brazil national team. Because of this, the General Severiano side believe the midfielder could increase his value during the World Cup, which starts in June.

Therefore, Botafogo are demanding around 40 million euros (R$236 million at the current exchange rate) to sell Danilo. It is worth noting that the transfer windows in Europe and Brazil open just a few days before the start of the World Cup.
