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.
