Botafogo wants to include Danilo in the squad, Palmeiras target

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the coaching staff and the board of the Rio de Janeiro club want to include Danilo in the squad for the match at Nilton Santos Stadium. The parties are expected to have one final conversation this Wednesday (22) about the possibility and his future situation.

At the same time, Palmeiras is trying to move talks forward with Botafogo, which for now remains firm on the asking price to release the midfielder. The preference is still for a transfer to a European club.

So far, only Zenit of Russia has made an official offer for Danilo. The proposal appeals to the Rio club, but the Academy graduate has no intention, at least for now, of playing in Russian football.

If he is included in the squad and takes the field against Vitória this Thursday (23), Danilo would reach 13 matches in the Brazilian Championship and would not be able to transfer to Palmeiras, having exceeded the match limit allowed for a transfer between Brazilian clubs.
