Flamengo set date for Danilo deal, Botafogo positive | OneFootball

Danilo has been Botafogo’s standout player this season

Flamengo is interested in signing defensive midfielder Danilo, a starter for Botafogo and the Brazilian National Team. As a result, the Rubro-Negro side has indicated that it will make an offer for the player in July, and the General Severiano club has responded positively.

At the moment, the transfer window is closed and Flamengo cannot sign players. Because of that, Mengo decided to ask about the midfielder’s availability. Botafogo is demanding 30 million euros (R$ 175.6 million at the current exchange rate). The information comes from journalist Jorge Nicola.

That said, Flamengo has promised to submit an offer for Danilo as soon as the transfer window opens in July. The market opens on the 20th. With that, the two clubs are expected to continue talking about the matter.

WHAT IS DANILO’S SITUATION?

Despite Flamengo’s interest in Danilo, the defensive midfielder has another priority. That is because the Botafogo player wants to return to Europe after a spell at Nottingham Forest (ENG), where he was unable to get enough playing time.

Danilo has been enjoying a positive season with Botafogo. The midfielder has played 20 matches, scored nine goals, and provided three assists. As a result, his form even earned him a call-up to the Brazilian National Team for the friendlies in March.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION?

At the moment, Flamengo has a long list of players who can play as defensive midfielders. Erick Pulgar and Evertton Araújo are the main names for the position. On the other hand, Saúl Ñíguez, Jorginho, De La Cruz, and Lucas Paquetá play in more advanced roles.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. The Rubro-Negro side takes the field this Wednesday (29) against Estudiantes (ARG) in the Copa Libertadores, away from home, at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time. As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information live from La Plata.
