Behind the scenes: Danilo only request, Abel talks Palmeiras ‘reward’ | OneFootball

Palmeiras has mapped out its plan for the rest of the season with the possible arrival of midfielder Danilo, the retention of its key players, and the departure of athletes who are not part of the coaching staff’s plans.

Abel Ferreira’s only request at Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Abel Ferreira believes signing Danilo would be enough to complete the squad for the coming months, with no need for further reinforcements in other positions. In the coach’s view, keeping the starters is also crucial for success at the end of the year.

With the Academy graduate being his only request, the Portuguese manager, in talks with Leila Pereira, guaranteed he would “reward” the club and its president with an important title this season if the move goes through.

Palmeiras’ football department plans to push forward in talks for Danilo while also keeping the squad’s main players in pursuit of major achievements in the three remaining competitions.

Verdão’s optimism

In the view of Verdão’s football department, the World Cup would be key to determining whether negotiations with the Academy graduate move forward after the tournament.

Danilo played in four matches and totaled just 44 minutes in the tournament. Because of this limited involvement, expectations within Palmeiras have grown, since a standout role for the youngster would have made future negotiations more difficult.

NP has learned that, at this moment, only Zenit of Russia is making a more concrete attempt to sign the player. However, for now, the midfielder has ruled out that option, as he wants a move to a club in one of Europe’s top leagues.
