Barcelona is among several clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal, and Milan, that are monitoring Danilo, a 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder. The assessment of the Botafogo player is that a call-up and playing time at the upcoming World Cup could lead to bids from top-tier clubs. Botafogo is seeking to sell the player to help alleviate a financial crisis, and the club's board believes a transfer could reach a value of up to €40 million. Danilo's priority is to return to a competitive European team. Fulham and Zenit have indicated they might invest around €30 million, although the player is not currently considering the Russian club. Monaco, Benfica, Arsenal, and Galatasaray have also made inquiries to his representatives. A final decision is anticipated after the World Cup, once formal offers are made. The midfielder has 2 caps for Brazil, joined Botafogo in July 2025, and is under contract until June 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €24.00m. In April 2026, Zenit reportedly made offers valued between €25 million and €30 million. Danilo's move from Palmeiras to Nottingham Forest in January 2023 was for €20 million.
