Brazil ups Palmeiras bid for Danilo, shakes Botafogo stance

Palmeiras has increased its offer for midfielder Danilo, and Botafogo is now reportedly reconsidering its position on the transfer. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the new proposal from the São Paulo club is valued at around R$ 180 million.

The offer was made by phone, and Botafogo is waiting for the numbers to be submitted in official documents. Payment would be spread over 24 months, or two years. The figures are now close to what Botafogo had been expecting to receive for the player.

Earlier, Botafogo had been firm in its stance against selling Danilo to Palmeiras. The new offer appears to have changed that position. The midfielder is expected to join Palmeiras after the World Cup.

Danilo has been a key player for Botafogo. He scored two goals in a recent match and was named the standout performer. The club had previously secured his signing from Palmeiras, making this potential move a return to his former team.

The transfer negotiations highlight the ongoing competition between the two Brazilian clubs. Palmeiras has been working to strengthen its squad, while Botafogo must decide whether to accept the financial terms or hold out for a better deal.
