Heating up? What Danilo, Palmeiras and Botafogo think on timing | OneFootball

Palmeiras has midfielder Danilo as its only target in this transfer window. The player developed in Verdão’s youth academy is one of Abel Ferreira’s wishes, and the club is trying to move forward in talks with Botafogo.

Palmeiras proceeds cautiously, but...

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Alviverde’s football department is looking to repeat strategies used in other recent negotiations, such as the signings of forwards Vitor Roque and Jhon Arias. The model being adopted is due to the complexity of the talks, especially because of the high sums involved.

However, Palmeiras knows it cannot be too passive because of the imminent return of the domestic competitions. Botafogo is aware of the possibility of a sale, but it is prioritizing Europe and wants to keep Danilo available until a deal is finalized.

Botafogo is in no rush

The Rio club, aware of Verdão’s strong interest in the midfielder, promises to make talks difficult and is in no hurry to move forward with negotiations since the international transfer window is not yet open.

Botafogo has an indication of an offer from Zenit in the region of €30 million (around R$175 million at the current exchange rate) and will use that as a key factor in negotiations with Palmeiras so as not to accept an offer for a lower amount.

And Danilo?

As NP reported, Danilo and his camp believe his future will be decided by the end of next week, whether through a transfer or by staying at the Rio club.
