Danilo sets transfer priorities, Flamengo trail rivals | OneFootball

Palmeiras is Danilo’s priority in Brazilian football

Flamengo remain interested in signing Danilo, one of Botafogo’s standout players in 2026. With the black-and-white side going through a difficult situation on and off the pitch, the midfielder wants to leave the club in the next transfer window. However, the Rubro-Negro are ‘bottom of the list’ in the player’s priorities.

According to ‘GE’, Danilo’s biggest dream is to return to European football, and a possible trip to the World Cup could make that easier. In addition, in Brazil, Palmeiras are the priority if the move to Europe does not happen. Finally, Flamengo appear as a distant possibility, due to the midfielder’s respect for Botafogo.

How much does Botafogo want to sell Danilo for?

It is worth noting that Botafogo have already set an asking price to negotiate Danilo: 40 million euros (R$ 231.2 million at the current exchange rate). That is because Flamengo’s rival believe the midfielder’s value will increase considering a call-up for the World Cup.

What are Danilo’s numbers in 2026?

Danilo is Botafogo’s main name in the 2026 season. In 21 matches played, the midfielder has nine goals and three assists. In addition, the player is the team’s top scorer this year, even while playing as a second defensive midfielder.

Are other clubs also looking to sign Danilo?

Besides Flamengo, Palmeiras, Fulham (ENG) and Zenit (RUS) are also trying to sign Danilo. However, no club has sent an official bid to buy the Botafogo midfielder, since the transfer window opens on July 20.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo take the field this Thursday (07) to face Independiente Medellín (COL). The match will take place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Atanasio Girardot Stadium, in the fourth round of the Libertadores.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín through YouTube, the website and social media. However, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
