Botafogo make drastic move over Danilo; Flamengo keen | OneFootball

What happened to Danilo at Botafogo?

Defensive midfielder Danilo is not having an easy time at Botafogo. That’s because, after asking to be released from the club’s last match in the Brasileirão, the Rio club’s board decided to remove the player from training.

For now, Danilo will not take part in Botafogo’s training sessions or matches before the World Cup. As a result, the black-and-white side will not have the midfielder available for matches in the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.

WHAT NOW?

Amid this sidelining, there is now anticipation over Danilo’s future. It is important to point out that, at the moment, the player is one of Botafogo’s main names. Thanks to his strong performances for the Rio club, the midfielder even secured a spot on Ancelotti’s final squad list for the 2026 World Cup.

IS FLAMENGO INTERESTED IN SIGNING DANILO FROM BOTAFOGO?

Danilo is on Flamengo’s radar as one of the possible signings for the next transfer window. For now, the Rubro-Negro already knows how much it would have to invest to take the midfielder from Botafogo: R$ 240 million. Given that high amount, Mengo has taken a step back in the negotiations. Finally, Palmeiras is also in the race to bring the player back.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Danilo remains uncertain about his future, the Flamengo squad is focused on the team’s upcoming fixtures this season. This Wednesday (20), Mengo faces Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
