Danilo breaks silence on Botafogo exit, Flamengo try to sign him | OneFootball

Danilo is under contract with Botafogo until December 2029

Danilo has been one of the standout names for Botafogo and Brazilian football this season, becoming a target for several teams, including Flamengo. After the Copa Sudamericana match, the Botafogo defensive midfielder spoke about the situation and said he has not stopped to think about it at the moment.

— I don’t really stop to think about it, because ever since my Palmeiras days, I’ve always told my agents that as long as it’s just speculation, with no paperwork, nothing official, if it’s only an inquiry, I’ve always said I didn’t want to hear about it, I didn’t want to talk about it —, Danilo began in an interview with TNT Sports.

— Now, if there were some paperwork, something concrete, like there was from Nottingham Forest (ENG), then yes, we would talk and I would look at it and think about what I want for my career. Thank God my agents always help me with that and are always by my side on these contractual matters —, he concluded.

WHAT IS DANILO’S SITUATION?

Danilo is one of the top players in Brazilian football in 2026. As such, the Botafogo midfielder has attracted interest from Flamengo, Palmeiras, Fulham (ENG), and Zenit (RUS). However, the Rio club is not expected to make the player’s departure easy.

HOW MUCH IS BOTAFOGO ASKING FOR DANILO?

That is because Botafogo is demanding around 35 million euros (R$ 202.9 million at the current exchange rate) to release Danilo to another team. The midfielder is under contract with the club from General Severiano until December 2029.
