Flamengo's president Bap commented on the possibility of pursuing prominent players, such as Danilo from Botafogo. Danilo is with the Brazil national team at the World Cup. Bap stated that the club will not wait until the end of the competition to take action.

According to ESPN BR, Flamengo's interest in Botafogo midfielder Danilo has lessened.

According to Globo.com, Flamengo is interested in Danilo from Botafogo. The president of Flamengo, Bap, stated that negotiations would not be simple and would be very expensive. Danilo expects proposals from European football due to his participation in the World Cup with the Brazilian national team.

According to Globo.com, Flamengo is among the clubs interested in Danilo. Both Danilo and Botafogo give priority to a transfer to Europe, but the player does not want to rule out opportunities in the Brazilian market. Danilo's agents believe that a domestic negotiation could also be favorable to Botafogo's management, which needs funds and wishes to receive 40 million euros for him. The report also states that Danilo asked to be excluded from a match against Corinthians for what he described as personal reasons.

According to Globo.com, Danilo asked not to be included in the squad for the last match to avoid reaching the 13-game mark in Serie A, which would prevent him from playing for another team in the division. Botafogo has decided not to use Danilo until after the World Cup. The report adds that Flamengo is interested in the player. It also states that Botafogo expects offers close to 40 million euros for him. Danilo's desire is to play for a prominent club.

Caio Ribeiro says that Flamengo made an offer for Danilo, who is at Botafogo.

Globo.com reports that Botafogo has removed Danilo, and he will not participate in training and matches for the next few weeks. This decision is valid until the player's future is resolved. Danilo wishes to remain an option for the Brazilian football market in the next transfer window, and Flamengo is interested in signing him. If Danilo completes his 13th game in the Brasileirão, he will not be able to play for another team. Flamengo is presented as a second option, but that possibility is becoming stronger.

A few weeks ago, Flamengo approached Danilo's staff to monitor the situation. According to ESPN, the Flamengo board proposed financial terms to sign him. However, after Palmeiras intervened, Flamengo withdrew from the negotiations.

According to Globo.com, Flamengo has become a secondary option for Danilo. The club is considered an attractive option due to the possibility of remaining in Rio de Janeiro and a belief that Danilo's playing style would fit the team. Botafogo is seeking a transfer fee of 40 million euros but believes it is unlikely to receive such an offer from Flamengo. Danilo is unhurried and plans to make his decision only after the World Cup.

Both Flamengo and Palmeiras have expressed interest in Danilo. The Brazilian club is unwilling to sell him to domestic rivals, such as Palmeiras or Flamengo. Danilo's contract runs until June 2029.

Even though Flamengo currently considers the midfield sector to be crowded due to a large number of options, an investment in Danilo is not ruled out.

According to Ekrem Konur, Flamengo has shown interest in Danilo, a 24-year-old defensive midfielder from Botafogo. Botafogo is willing to sell the Brazilian player for a minimum of €23 million. This amount is what Botafogo paid to acquire the midfielder from Nottingham Forest last summer.

According to Globo.com, an intermediary inquired about offering Danilo to Flamengo and was told the club is not interested in signing the player at this moment. The club is prioritizing other positions and names in the market.

Flamengo is evaluating the signing of Botafogo's 24-year-old midfielder Danilo, with interest in its initial phase according to information first reported by Raisa Simplício and confirmed by ESPN. The club is seeking a midfielder for multiple roles but has not yet presented an official offer to Botafogo or the player's representatives. A potential negotiation could be facilitated by Botafogo's financial problems, as executive Alessandro Brito admitted to Ge that the club needs to sell players.
