Man Utd and Newcastle interested in Danilo

[Getty Images] Manchester United and Newcastle United have both expressed an interest in Botafogo midfielder Danilo. The 25-year-old, who was part of Brazil's World Cup squad, is considering his next move after his club received offers of about £25m from Palmeiras and Zenit St Petersburg. Manchester United and Newcastle are also understood to have Danilo on their shortlists as they look to strengthen in midfield, though it is unclear what either club will do. One option for Manchester United is not signing an additional midfielder this summer. Danilo is assessing his options, with Botafogo keen to sell him abroad despite Palmeiras, where he spent three years between 2020 and 2023, currently pushing hardest to complete a deal. Nottingham Forest first brought Danilo to England from Palmeiras for £18m in 2023. After two seasons, he returned to Brazil to join Botafogo. The midfielder appeared as a substitute in all but one of Brazil's matches at the World Cup, where they were eliminated by Norway in the last 16.
