Palmeiras buoyed by Danilo interest, but deal seen as difficult | OneFootball

Palmeiras has midfielder Danilo as its only target in this transfer window and dreams of signing the player developed in the club’s academy, where he enjoyed a successful spell.

Palmeiras sees deal as difficult

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the Verdão football department sees the deal as difficult for a number of reasons: the figures involved in the negotiation, Botafogo preferring Europe and signaling that it can wait until the end of the window, and the player’s desire to resolve his situation quickly.

In talks with people at the top of Palmeiras, Danilo showed that he is interested in returning to the club, but he still dreams of playing for a major club in European football.

Despite an initial understanding between Alviverde and the player’s camp, there is still a long way to go before reaching an agreement with Botafogo and moving the negotiations forward.

In addition, although it is still facing financial problems, the new management of the Rio club has been trying to restructure and has already gained some administrative breathing room with the lifting of “transfer bans,” meaning there is no need for emergency sales to secure new signings.

Verdão will keep trying

Palmeiras will continue trying to move forward in talks with Botafogo and Danilo, but the current outlook is not optimistic internally at Verdão.

The Alviverde football department’s bet is that no major club in the European market will make an offer attractive enough to tempt the player. However, the midfielder’s camp wants clarity on his future as early as this week.

As mentioned earlier, Botafogo is in no rush for a decision, since the transfer window will remain open until September 11, and it plans to reintegrate Danilo for the upcoming Brazilian Championship matches.

The Rio club expects the Academy graduate to report back next week to begin training after the World Cup.
