Milan is among several clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal, and Barcelona, that are monitoring the market for a player in the position of Danilo, a 25-year-old Brazilian. The assessment regarding the Botafogo midfielder is that top-tier clubs could attempt to sign him if he receives a call-up and plays in the World Cup. The player's priority is to return to European football, and Botafogo considers his sale a way to alleviate financial issues. Other clubs have also shown interest; Fulham and Zenit indicated they might invest approximately €30 million, though the player has ruled out the Russian club. Mônaco, Benfica, and Galatasaray have also made inquiries to the player's staff. A final decision regarding his future is expected to be made after the World Cup. The Brazilian international, who has 2 caps and 1 goal, is under contract with Botafogo until June 2029 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €24 million. According to recent reports from May 2026, Botafogo's asking price is approximately €40 million.
