Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli has confirmed that the club is actively seeking to transfer Danilo during the January transfer window. Giuntoli stated that the club is working on finding the best solution for both Juventus and the player, as Danilo is no longer part of the team’s plans and has been excluded from the squad.
Danilo’s Situation at Juventus
Danilo, a 33-year-old Brazilian defender, has been completely sidelined from Juventus’ project. His exclusion from the team was highlighted when he was left out of the squad for the Super Cup, as reported on 30th December 2024. This decision follows a series of events, including the club’s dismissal of transfer rumours in early December and Danilo’s previous attempts to negotiate contract terms in October.
Background and Playing Style
Danilo, known for his versatility in defence, has previously played for clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester City before joining Juventus. His style of play is characterised by strong defensive capabilities and the ability to support offensive plays from the back. Despite his experience and skills, he has found himself out of favour at Juventus, leading to the current transfer situation.
Future Prospects
As Juventus seeks to finalise Danilo’s departure, the club is exploring potential destinations that would benefit both parties. The decision to sell Danilo aligns with Juventus’ strategy to reshape their squad and focus on players who fit their long-term vision.
