Botafogo want Danilo in squad for Vitória; Palmeiras seek breakthrough | OneFootball

Botafogo face Vitória next Thursday (23) in the Brazilian Championship. Defensive midfielder Danilo, a Palmeiras transfer target in this transfer window, returned on Monday and is a doubt for the match.

Botafogo want to include Danilo, a Palmeiras target

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the coaching staff and the board of the Rio club want to include Danilo in the squad for the match at Nilton Santos Stadium. The parties are expected to have one final conversation this Wednesday (22) about the possibility and his future situation.

Meanwhile, Palmeiras are trying to move talks forward with Botafogo, who, at this point, remain firm on the fee they want to release the midfielder. Their preference is still a transfer to a European club.

So far, only Zenit of Russia have made an official offer for Danilo. The bid appeals to the Rio club, but the Academy graduate does not initially intend to play in Russian football.

If he is included in the squad and takes the field against Vitória this Thursday (23), Danilo would reach 13 matches in the Brazilian Championship and would not be able to transfer to Palmeiras, having exceeded the limit of appearances allowed for a move between Brazilian clubs.
