Corinthians have already racked up four transfer bans in less than two months. São Paulo were punished for failing to pay an installment related to the signing of defensive midfielder Marcos Antônio.

Santos, meanwhile, who have many financial issues piling up, were penalized by FIFA over a debt to Monaco for the signing of defensive midfielder Jean Lucas.

Verdão cleared and still wants Danilo

With a healthy financial situation, Palmeiras remain focused on signing defensive midfielder Danilo.

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the Rio de Janeiro club indicated in talks between the parties involved that they want the midfielder available for the match against Cruzeiro next Sunday (26) in the Brazilian Championship.

Danilo returned last Monday (20) after a break following the World Cup.

If he plays against Cruzeiro, the Academy graduate will not be able to join Palmeiras, as he will have reached 13 appearances in the Brazilian Championship. Because of this, the parties involved understand that negotiations with Verdão would need to move forward later this week.
