Athletico-PR is one of several clubs interested in Novorizontino's 21-year-old defender, Dantas. Internacional and Corinthians are also reportedly monitoring the player, while Fluminense and Botafogo are also interested in signing him. Botafogo's interest is not recent, and talks with Novorizontino have been re-established lately. Novorizontino is asking for a fee of around 2.5 million dollars for the transfer. ESPN reported, based on sources close to the club, that the team that agrees to pay this amount in cash will sign the player. This condition was established after Novorizontino previously had payment issues with Santos concerning the transfer of another defender.
