The possibility of transferring Enzo Fernandez in January, in light of the proposals coming to Luz, led Benfica to analyze the market in search of alternatives to the world champions. Danilo, Palmeiras midfielder, is one of the names. The Brazilian press revealed Benfica’s interest in the 21-year-old footballer, a situation confirmed by O JOGO. Our newspaper knows that the midfielder, who can play the role of ‘6’ and ‘8’, has been pointed out.
Danilo is one of the rising talents in Brazilian football, being the undisputed part of Abel Ferreira in the Brazilian champions. Already called up to the Brazil national team by Tite, although he has yet to play, Danilo is seen by Benfica as a costly target. The club headed by Rui Costa has already set out the terms of a possible deal, but there is currently no proposal, with the Eagles assessing the situation, both in terms of the possible departure of Enzo Fernandez and in relation to other names on the table. .
Linked to the Palmeiras until 2026, Danilo has a €100m release clause and the São Paulo club is aiming to pay between €20m and €25m for his release.
