After recruiting Luiz Felipe, OM would like to offer themselves a second central defender during this winter transfer window. Danilo's name has been mentioned at length, but the Brazilian defender will finally bounce back in Naples.
Juventus Turin player since 2019, Danilo will terminate his contract with the Old Lady. In recent weeks, Olympique de Marseille had looked into the matter and welcomed the opportunity to recruit a defender with colossal experience (33 years, 65 caps with Brazil). Danilo's profile had been validated by Roberto De Zerbi, who appreciated the versatility of the ex-Manchester City player, equally capable of playing as a central defender or right back. But it is not OM who will win the prize in the case of the native of Bicas.
Indeed, Gianluca Di Marzio reveals that unless there is a major turnaround in the situation, Danilo will soon commit to Naples, current leader of Serie A. Our Italian colleague explains that an agreement is about to be reached between Danilo and Juventus Turin for the termination of the Brazilian international's contract, six months before the scheduled date. Negotiations are progressing in the right direction and the player should be officially free in the coming days. A loophole into which Napoli fell, looking for an experienced player to strengthen their defense.
-Danilo will not sign for OM
The leader of the Italian championship is simply waiting for Danilo to be officially free before going on the offensive and recruiting him for zero euros. There is now a good chance of seeing Danilo join Napoli even if Flamengo still has a tiny hope of reversing the trend. The Brazilian club dreams of acquiring the 65-cap full-back with the Seleçao, but it is on the Serie A side that Danilo should continue his career. OM is no longer even mentioned by Gianluca Di Marzio, who seems to have buried the Marseille track a long time ago. To strengthen its central defense, the Marseille club is now tracking Kevin Danso, according to TF1. But to strike hard by recruiting the Austrian international from Lens, the runner-up of PSG must first get rid of a central defender (Mbemba, Brassier or Meïté).
