Atalanta Joins the Race for Danilo, Whom Fenerbahçe Want
Following Emre Belözoğlu's report, Fenerbahçe are keeping Botafogo midfielder Danilo near the top of their transfer list. Botafogo rejected Atalanta's alleged 30 million euro offer.
In the first match under Emre Belözoğlu's management, Fenerbahçe beat Arca Çorum FK 5-0. Following this win, the yellow and navy side turned their attention to the January transfer window.
In line with Belözoğlu's report, the club's management wants to strengthen its midfield. Botafogo's star Danilo is among the top names on the list. However, because the Brazilian club has high transfer fee expectations, no concrete progress has been made in negotiations so far.
From Europe, Serie A side Atalanta have made a formal approach for Danilo. The Italian club is reportedly offering Botafogo a total package of 30 million euros, made up of a 22 million euro net fee and an 8 million euro performance bonus.
The Brazilian club, however, did not accept this offer. It was reported that Botafogo are asking Atalanta for 40 million euros and are seeking the same fee from Fenerbahçe. The player's current market value is listed at 32 million euros.
The 25-year-old midfielder has contributed 13 goals and 3 assists in 39 official matches across all competitions for Botafogo this season. The negotiations are expected to be difficult in the coming weeks.
