Targeted by Flamengo, Danilo has a strong chance of not playing again in a Botafogo shirt. That is because the player is afraid of getting injured before the World Cup. In addition, the midfielder would not be able to transfer to another Brazilian club if he plays one more Brasileirão match.
According to newspaper O Globo, the decision on whether or not to include Danilo in the Botafogo lineup belongs to coach Franclim Carvalho. Behind the scenes, there are club directors asking the coach not to use the midfielder anymore.
In addition, it is important to point out that Danilo's staff is not happy with Botafogo. That is because the club has overdue payments to the player and his agents. Therefore, the atmosphere between the parties is far from the best.
Yes! Flamengo is interested in signing Danilo from Botafogo. However, the Rubro-Negro club will not have an easy time in negotiations, since Palmeiras also wants to add the midfielder to its squad after the World Cup.
While keeping an eye on Danilo's situation at Botafogo, Flamengo is focused on this Wednesday's match (20) against Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.
