Flamengo was keeping an eye on the situation of midfielder Danilo, from Botafogo. Amid the ‘interest’ from the Rubro-Negro and other clubs, the team from General Severiano acted quickly and decided on the player’s future at the club.
Given the financial crisis that Botafogo is experiencing, Danilo was close to terminating his contract due to delays in the payment of labor obligations. To avoid losing the player, the club paid off one of the outstanding installments and, with that, managed to keep the midfielder.
Botafogo had a debt of three months’ worth of image rights up until the start of this week. In addition, the team from General Severiano has not yet deposited any installments related to the player’s Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS), who joined the club in July 2025. This information comes from ‘GE’.
Amid all this financial crisis at Botafogo, Flamengo kept an eye on the rival’s squad. As a result, the Rubro-Negro board looked favorably on Danilo. However, it’s worth noting that Mengo has not yet made any official offer to sign the player.
While Botafogo is ‘drowning’ in debt, Flamengo is looking to have another very successful season. This Sunday (25), the Rubro-Negro returns to the field to face Fluminense, for the fourth round of the Carioca.
The match kicks off at 6pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. In this way, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the classic with the most Rubro-Negro coverage on the internet, live and on-site, on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
