Palmeiras are interested in signing midfielder Danilo, a product of the club’s academy who is currently at Botafogo. Verdão see the player as their main target for the next transfer window.
NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Alviverde are preparing a move by presenting a proposal to the player’s representatives regarding salary figures and a signing bonus for the contract.
Despite the move, Palmeiras’ hierarchy is aware of Danilo’s desire to join a major European club after the World Cup. The midfielder was called up by Carlo Ancelotti last Monday (18).
People involved in the deal believe it is unlikely that a bid higher than 30 million euros will arrive from European clubs. The situation would change if more than one club makes an offer or if the Academy graduate plays a starring role at the World Cup.
So far, Palmeiras have not officially approached Botafogo, but they believe that, unlike at the start of the season, the Rio club would be open to negotiations with Verdão for Danilo.
Danilo was sidelined by Botafogo this Tuesday (19) after the player asked not to play against Corinthians so as not to reach 13 matches and become unable to play for any other Brazilian club.
