Palmeiras continue working to move forward in negotiations with Botafogo for the signing of defensive midfielder Danilo. The Academy graduate is the club’s biggest desire and only target in this transfer window.
NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão’s salary offer to the player is better than the one made by Zenit, from Russia. Alviverde has signaled a contract valid for five seasons.
With bonuses and signing fees during this period, Palmeiras’ offer pleases Danilo and his staff. There is still no definitive agreement on all the amounts involved between club and player; however, according to people involved in the talks, only minor adjustments would be needed.
Verdão is preparing a new offer for Botafogo, involving fixed amounts and performance bonuses, which should be made by the middle of this week. The possibility of including players in the deal is, at first, off the table. The Rio club understands that the players available at Alviverde would not add to the team at this moment.
After the tribute paid to coach Abel Ferreira in the club’s Trophy Room, president Leila Pereira spoke to the press this Friday (17) and confirmed that Palmeiras remain interested in signing defensive midfielder Danilo, currently at Botafogo.
– I was absolutely sure of that. As I said, we are interested in the player, yes, but we don’t have any news for you. Barros has been talking almost daily with Botafogo and with Danilo’s agents. – she said
– The interest remains and we are working on it. I believe so. His wish is to return to his home. I believe that, but it also depends on Botafogo. His wish is to come to Palmeiras. – she concluded
