Flamengo are on the verge of signing Danilo, who is expected to terminate his contract with Juventus next week. The Brazilian defender has opted to return to his home country, with the transfer anticipated to be finalised shortly thereafter.
Contract Details
Danilo is set to sign a two-year contract with Flamengo, as reported by @cahemota. This move marks a significant return to Brazil for the 33-year-old, who has spent several years playing in Europe.
Background and Career
Danilo, known for his versatility as a defender, has had a notable career in European football. He has played for top clubs including Porto, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and most recently, Juventus. His style of play is characterised by strong defensive skills and the ability to contribute to offensive plays.
Juventus Departure
The decision to leave Juventus comes after the club excluded him from their future plans, as reported earlier this month. Juventus had been planning to offload Danilo during the January transfer window, and his departure aligns with these plans.
Return to Brazil
Danilo’s return to Brazil is a significant move, as he looks to continue his career in his home country. Flamengo, one of Brazil’s most successful clubs, will be looking to benefit from his experience and skills on the field.
