Manchester United repeatedly approached to sign Danilo – deal could be worth €40m

of manchester united Interest in Danilo is beginning to seem more serious. This comes at the very moment when the midfielder looks to be completely out of Botafogo’s plans.

The Brazil international was already heading towards a potential summer exit following his excellent form this season. However, the latest update coming out of Brazil shows that things are heating up quickly behind the scenes.

according to multiple reportsDanilo is now expected to miss Botafogo training sessions and matches until his future becomes clearer.

This is a huge increase Earlier “risk management” approach About his fitness and World Cup preparation.

At this point, it really feels as if Botafogo is already managing the final stages before his departure.

Manchester United is pushing again

The timing is interesting as the Manchester United name continues to appear more and more around the player.

after Previous reports of first contact, espn brazil Said United made new inquiries last week. They continue to view Danilo as a potential long-term replacement for Casemiro.

There is still no sign of formal conversation or speech, but repeated contact certainly suggests something is going on. Especially as United are beginning to look like one of the main players in the race. It is the only English club to have been credited with active interest by the local press in the past few days.

feels more and more like passing out

Danilo’s season has pushed him to a completely different market level. In addition to establishing himself as one of the most productive midfielders in Brazilian football, he was also called up for the World Cup by Carlo Ancelotti, increasing the hype around him.

Botafogo expect their valuation from the tournament to reach €40m (£34m). Meanwhile, several European clubs continued to weigh in on the situation.

More importantly, the club’s own sentiment is positive for Manchester United. They want Danilo to be sold abroad after the World Cup – not to a local rival. This naturally pushes the Premier League angle even further.

An important point here is that negotiations really won’t be that difficult once a formal offer is made.

John Textor was effectively stripped of control of Botafogo after leaving the club nearly R$2.5bn (€427m / £367m) in debt. This has left a club under great financial pressure.

Botafogo know they need money, and they also know Danilo wants a move after the World Cup.

Put those two things together, and there is a growing feeling in Brazil that this could become a relatively quick deal once one of the interested clubs decides to make a proper move.

arsenal may still be there

While Manchester United continue to talk with Botafogo, Arsenal remain active in their pursuit of the player.

As we covered earlierThe Gunners have already made contact with Danilo’s staff and still look like one of the most aggressively moving English clubs behind the scenes.

But the overall sentiment about the situation is changing. It seems Danilo is already in the middle of the exit process, and England’s top shelf clubs are waiting on the other side.
