Globo.com reports that transfer negotiations involving Danilo and Nottingham Forest have been halted. John Textor, owner of Botafogo, was negotiating Danilo's transfer to the club for 19 million euros. Botafogo still owes 20 million euros for the signing of Danilo. The agreement did not proceed because a court in Rio de Janeiro suspended all acts related to the sales and negotiation of Botafogo's assets. Danilo said he was surprised by the news of the near return to England.

Danilo and his agents were surprised by a communication regarding a possible sale to Nottingham Forest. A judicial decision on Thursday interrupted the negotiation, and John Textor is prohibited from selling athletes. The departure of Danilo and Montoro would generate 14 million euros, and it is estimated that after deductions for commissions and taxes, 8 million euros would be received. According to ge, it is unlikely that Danilo would leave Botafogo at this moment as he believes this move would harm his career and sporting plans.

John Textor was negotiating the transfer of Danilo to Nottingham Forest directly with the club's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, and they had progressed to an agreed price of 19 million euros. The negotiation is currently interrupted because of a judicial decision from a Rio de Janeiro court which prohibits the sale of Botafogo players. Nottingham Forest can only sign players until the following Monday, when the transfer window in England closes.
