Flamengo eyeing move for Botafogo player, claims journalist | OneFootball

Which Botafogo player is on Flamengo’s radar?

Flamengo continues to keep an eye on market opportunities in this transfer window. In this context, a Botafogo player has entered the Rubro-Negro’s radar. That player is Danilo.

According to information released by journalist Raisa Simplício, Flamengo has shown interest in signing Danilo. For now, Mengão is monitoring the midfielder’s situation at the General Severiano club and is considering making an offer to their Rio rival to acquire the player. It’s important to note that, so far, no official proposal has been made.

WHAT IS DANILO’S SITUATION AT BOTAFOGO?

Danilo joined Botafogo in the last transfer window of the previous season, coming from Nottingham Forest (ENG). Since his arrival at the club, the player has been a regular starter in the team’s midfield. Because of this, the black-and-white team has already rejected offers for the player from European clubs. The 24-year-old midfielder’s contract with the club runs until July 2029.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION IN THE TRANSFER WINDOW?

In the current transfer window, Flamengo has already made two signings: defender Vitão, formerly of Internacional, and Andrew, formerly of Gil Vicente (POR). At the moment, the main ‘target’ for Mengão in the market is Lucas Paquetá, from West Ham (ENG). The Rubro-Negro is already preparing to formalize an offer to the English club to try to bring back the Ninho academy product.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH IN THE CARIOCA?

While the board is active in the market, the main squad of Flamengo is preparing to make its debut in the 2026 season. Thus, the Rubro-Negro will face Vasco this Wednesday (21st), in the third round of the Carioca.

The ball will roll for the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (21st), at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide detailed coverage of the match with the most Rubro-Negro-focused reporting on the internet via YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, Globo (free-to-air), SporTV (cable), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GETV (YouTube) will also broadcast the game.
