Palmeiras encouraged by Danilo interest, but deal looks tough | OneFootball

Palmeiras has midfielder Danilo as its only target in this transfer window and dreams of signing the player who came through the club’s academy and enjoyed a successful spell there.

Palmeiras sees deal as difficult

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão’s football department sees the deal as difficult for a number of reasons: the figures involved in the negotiation, Botafogo preferring Europe and signaling that it can wait until the end of the window, and the player’s desire to resolve the situation quickly.

In conversations with people from Palmeiras’ top brass, Danilo showed that he is interested in returning to the club, but he still dreams of playing for a major club in European football.

Despite an initial understanding between Alviverde and the player’s representatives, there is still a long way to go before reaching an agreement with Botafogo and moving the negotiations forward.

In addition, although it is still facing financial problems, the new management of the Rio club has been trying to restructure and has already gained some administrative breathing room with the lifting of its “transfer bans,” meaning there is no need for emergency sales to secure new signings.

Verdão will keep trying

Palmeiras will keep trying to move talks forward with Botafogo and Danilo, but at this moment the outlook is not optimistic internally at Verdão.

The Alviverde football department is betting that no major club in the European market will make an offer that tempts the player. However, the midfielder’s representatives want progress on his future as early as this week.

As mentioned earlier, Botafogo is in no rush for a decision, since the transfer window will remain open until September 11, and it plans to reintegrate Danilo for the upcoming Brazilian Championship matches.

The Rio club expects the Academy graduate to report back next week to begin training after the World Cup.
