Right-back Danilo, from Juventus, has not yet defined the club he will play for in 2025. The 33-year-old defender has a return to Brazil as a possibility.
Napoli, Santos and Flamengo are clubs interested in Danilo. This week, Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio announced that the Brazilian is negotiating a friendly contract termination with Juventus and will join the next team without transfer costs.
Per season, Danilo receives around 5.1 million euros (R$31.7 million) at Juventus.

Which team will Danilo play for?
In Europe since the 2011/12 season, when he left Santos to defend the colors of Porto, Danilo prefers to remain on the continent.
In this context, Napoli gains strength as the winger’s likely destination. Antonio Conte, Napoli coach, got in touch with the Brazilian.
But Santos and Flamengo are still in the running. At Rubro-Negro, in addition to being on the right flank, Danilo could act as a defender and replace the departure of Fabrício Bruno, who went to Cruzeiro.
This week, Peixe made official a proposal for the player with good attractions: a long contract and the highest salary in the squad, according to “Uol Esportes”.
Vasco even made a consultation to sign the right-back at the end of the athlete’s contract with Juventus, in June 2025.
The athlete was a wish of President Pedrinho, who counted on Philippe Coutinho to convince him to play for Cruzmaltino, but negotiations did not progress.

Where did Danilo play?
At 33 years old, full-back Danilo has been at Juventus since 2019. The player, who started his career at América-MG, had spells at Santos, Porto, Real Madrid and Manchester City before going to Velha Senhora.
The athlete has been part of the Brazilian national team since 2011, participating in two World Cups: in 2018 and 2022.
Why is Danilo leaving Juventus?
The reason for leaving would be the loss of space suffered by the player at Juventus this season.
For the team, he has made only 16 appearances so far, and in eight of them he started on the bench, coming on throughout the games.
