Palmeiras continues to work in the transfer market to strengthen the squad. Verdão wants to sign a center-back, a midfielder, and a defensive midfielder before the transfer window closes.

First Bid Rejected for Academy Graduate

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Alviverde made an offer of € 8 million (about R$ 50 million at the current exchange rate) for 50% of the rights to Danilo, who was developed in the club’s youth academy and is currently at Botafogo.

The Rio de Janeiro club rejected the bid, but Palmeiras is working on a new offer to advance negotiations.

To release Danilo, Botafogo wants a fee close to € 20 million (about R$ 123 million at the current exchange rate). The information about the interest was first reported by Globo Esporte.

Developed in Palmeiras’ youth academy, defensive midfielder Danilo won multiple titles with the club and was sold to Nottingham Forest in January 2023 for around € 18 million (about R$ 100 million at the exchange rate at the time).

For Verdão, the player appeared in 141 matches, scoring 12 goals and winning six titles: two Libertadores, one Brazilian Championship, one Paulista Championship, one South American Recopa, and one Copa do Brasil.
