Globo.com reported that recent inquiries from Roma for Danilo did not advance.

According to Globo, Roma is interested in Danilo, and Botafogo is prepared to sell him for €30 million. The club had previously planned to sell Danilo for approximately €40 million after the 2026 World Cup, but is now willing to lower the price because the player played for only 43 minutes at the tournament. Botafogo prioritizes selling the 25-year-old midfielder to Europe, while the player's entourage suggests a transfer within Brazil is more likely.

Roma is among several clubs interested in Danilo, a 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder for Botafogo. Galatasaray and Napoli are also interested, and Zenit has initiated negotiations. The preference is to conclude a deal with a European club. Journalist Venê Casagrande had previously reported that the St. Petersburg club was ready to offer €35 million for the player and that Flamengo was also interested in the Brazilian. Danilo has 8 caps and 2 goals for Brazil. He joined Botafogo in July 2025, and his contract runs until June 2029. His current market value is €32.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Recent reports from July 2026 state that Botafogo expects between €30-35 million for the player. Danilo transferred from Nottingham Forest to Botafogo for a reported €23 million in July 2025.
