According to UOL, the club has received offers for Danilo from Manchester United, Milan, Atalanta, and Zenit.

Rudy Galetti reports that AC Milan have approached Botafogo for Danilo.

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.
