Internacional is among a number of clubs interested in Dantas, a 21-year-old defender from Novorizontino. Athletico-PR and Corinthians are also reportedly monitoring the player. Fluminense and Botafogo are also in contention. Botafogo's interest is long-standing, and talks have recently resumed. Novorizontino is asking for approximately 2.5 million dollars for the transfer. According to information ESPN obtained from sources linked to Novorizontino, the transfer will be secured by the team that pays the amount in cash. This condition was set because the club wants to avoid a repeat of a recent payment default by Santos for another player.
