How Palmeiras aim to agree fee and convince Botafogo to sell Danilo | OneFootball

After president Leila Pereira confirmed last Friday (17) that she is interested in signing defensive midfielder Danilo, Palmeiras is working to get closer to the figures requested by Botafogo and move the talks forward.

New signal from Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that, in conversations this weekend with people involved in the negotiations, Verdão indicated that it is willing to pay €25 million (around R$145 million at the current exchange rate).

Palmeiras’ board will now work on performance targets, bonuses, and payment terms that are attractive enough to get closer to the €30 million (around R$175 million at the current exchange rate) wanted by Botafogo.

‘Deadline’ for Palmeiras?

NP reported that the Rio club indicated in talks between the parties involved that it wants the defensive midfielder on the field for the match against Cruzeiro next Sunday (26) in the Brazilian Championship.

Danilo will report back this Monday (20) after his time off due to the World Cup, will undergo medical tests, and will take part in training throughout the week.

If he plays against Cruzeiro, the Academy graduate will not be able to transfer to Palmeiras because he will have reached 13 matches in the Brazilian Championship. Because of this, the parties involved understand that negotiations with Verdão would need to move forward this week.

Salary offer

Verdão’s salary offer to the player is better than the one made by Zenit of Russia. Alviverde has indicated a contract valid for five seasons.

The possibility of including players in the deal is, initially, off the table. The Rio club believes that the players available at Alviverde would not add to the team at this moment.
