Fluminense eye Dantas from Novorizontino, preparing a move | OneFootball

Fluminense has its eye on signing defender Dantas from Novorizontino. The 21-year-old has been one of the standout players for the team from the interior of São Paulo since last season and has been attracting attention from clubs in the Brazilian Série A.

According to journalist Guilherme Abrahão from Itatiaia, the Tricolor is already aware of the conditions to move forward with the negotiation and is working to formalize an offer as early as this week. In addition to seeking a center forward, the management also considers bringing in a defender a priority during this transfer window.

Novorizontino does not intend to make it easy for one of its main assets to leave. Last year, Botafogo tried to sign him but ran into the price demanded by the São Paulo club.

The same happened with Red Bull Bragantino. The club even tried to secure a loan with a purchase option, but was told by Novorizontino that they would not negotiate the defender for less than 3 million dollars (about R$ 15.4 million at the exchange rate at the time).

Fluminense is racing against time to try to complete the signing before the transfer window closes on March 3.
