Newcastle have opened talks with Botafogo over the potential transfer of Danilo Dos Santos De Oliveira, who currently plays as a midfielder. Negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. Newcastle have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Chelsea and Man Utd are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. Botafogo have also been linked with Gabriel Batista while Newcastle are reportedly monitoring Ederson, Hugo Larsson and Dodo. Want more transfer rumours like this?
