During his 157 matches played with PSG, Danilo gave everything before taking charge of Saudi Arabia and Al-Ittihad, pushed out by management. He deplored the treatment meted out by the leaders.
Danilo Pereira has never been one to talk for nothing. So, in his interview with our colleagues from Le Parisien, the “soldier” who spent four seasons at PSG, playing 157 matches while sacrificing himself so often for the needs of the collective, had strong words. The one who joined the Al-Ittihad of Laurent Blanc, Karim Benzema or even N'Golo Kanté at the beginning of September largely pointed the finger at the overall behavior of a PSG which visibly did not want to do anything to facilitate its exit, which had become inevitable and desired because Luis Enrique did not count on him.
PSG in no way “facilitated” Danilo’s departure
“There were exchanges with FC Porto, Atlético de Madrid. I had touches in Italy, in Germany. But these transfers were blocked for financial reasons. The club asked for a lot of money”, noted the Portuguese international, who although understanding, did not expect it to be so difficult. “I didn't want to continue in a club where they didn't count on me.

I wanted to continue my career there.

That was the most painful feeling. I don't think I deserved this treatment. “It was very hard,” said Danilo, only appreciated at its true value by supporters still behind him.
“Internally, I don't think so at all. I'm happy with the work I did at PSG. I'm happy with the recognition that the Parisians gave me. But internally, overall, we under- esteemed this work. The people at the club did not give much value to what I achieved. Sometimes, saying a few words, words, is important.
