Fenerbahçe makes a 28 million euro bid for Danilo

Continuing its midfield transfer efforts, Fenerbahçe has set its sights on 25-year-old midfielder Danilo, who plays for Botafogo, and offered a transfer fee of 28 million euros to the Brazilian club.

Fenerbahçe management took action to strengthen the midfield position in line with the alternative list approved by head coach Emre Belözoğlu, making initial contact through agents for 25-year-old Danilo, who plays for Botafogo, and offering 28 million euros. While the Brazilian representative Botafogo demanded 40 million euros in response to this offer, it is stated that the yellow-navy blue team aims to finalize the negotiations in the band of 30-32 million euros.

According to reports from RTI Esporte and Fotomaç, although the Russian team Zenit also offered 40 million euros for Danilo, the player rejected this offer because he wanted to play in a more competitive league, and it was stated that the parties plan to sit down officially this month for the footballer, who is keen on returning to Europe. It is known that Danilo, who has been unable to play since October 27 due to a calf injury and is expected to return to the pitch at the end of the month, is also included in the Brazil National Team squad managed by Carlo Ancelotti.
