Inside: Danilo's the only ask, Abel wants Palmeiras 'reward' | OneFootball

Palmeiras have outlined their plan for the rest of the season with the possible arrival of midfielder Danilo, the retention of their key players, and the departure of athletes who are not part of the coaching staff’s plans.

Abel Ferreira’s only request at Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Abel Ferreira believes signing Danilo would be enough to complete the squad for the coming months, with no need for new reinforcements in other positions. In the coach’s view, keeping the starters is also crucial for success at the end of the year.

With the Academy graduate being his only request, the Portuguese manager, in talks with Leila Pereira, guaranteed he would “reward” the club and its president with an important title this season if the signing goes through.

Palmeiras’ football department plans to push forward in talks for Danilo while also keeping the squad’s main players as it aims for major achievements in the three remaining competitions.

Verdão optimism

In the view of Verdão’s football department, the World Cup would be key in determining whether negotiations for the Academy graduate move forward after the tournament.

Danilo played in four matches and totaled only 44 minutes in the tournament. Because of that limited involvement, expectations inside Palmeiras have grown, since a breakout performance from the youngster would have made future negotiations more difficult.

NP has learned that, at this moment, only Zenit of Russia are making a more concrete attempt to sign the player. However, for now, this possibility has been ruled out by the midfielder, who wants a move to a club in one of Europe’s top leagues.
