fulham With Danilo now firmly in the picture, the midfielder has once again become the talk of the town for the Premier League club.
The 24-year-old has rebuilt his reputation at Botafogo since returning from Nottingham Forest, and his current form is making headlines in several markets. He is producing at a level that makes him one of Brazil’s most effective midfielders at the moment.
In all competitions in 2026, Danilo has 10 goals and 3 assists in 23 games. In the league alone, he has scored 7 goals in 10 games, which is an excellent return for a central midfielder. He is scoring once every 3.14 shots and is averaging 2.22 shots per 90 minutes.
Its impact goes beyond the goals. He completes approximately 45 passes per match with an 86.58% accuracy rate, while also making 1.72 key passes per game, regularly creating chances for teammates.
All this has put him firmly in Brazil’s plans. He is now seen as almost a sure name in the squad for the upcoming World Cup, which only increases his visibility and market value. This sets the scene for the latest developments.
Fulham ready to move forward with serious offer
according to globo esporte In Brazil, Fulham have already indicated a willingness to invest around €30m (£26m) for Danilo. This is not the first time The cottagers make a move on him.
The structure will include €22m (£19m) guaranteed and €8m (£7m) in bonuses, bringing them on par with Zenit, who are moving forward with a similar package. Brazilian side Palmeiras also remain interested, but a domestic move is believed to be more complicated.
That price point puts Fulham in a strong position, especially given Botafogo’s financial situation, making a sale in the summer window increasingly likely.

Danilo’s rise in 2026 explains why Fulham are making the move now. Beyond statistics, he has also become a key figure behind the scenes at the club. The dressing room in particular is facing uncertainty regarding finances and ownership.
And it explains why Fulham’s timing is not random. Botafogo is dealing with financial issues, and Danilo is internally viewed as one of the club’s most valuable assets. Selling it is seen as a way to raise money.
There has been tension since the beginning of this year. His camp also threatened to terminate his contract Delay in Image Rights Payment. Although the situation was later resolved, it led to instability around the club.
As we covered earlierThere was also an unsuccessful attempt to send Danilo back to Nottingham Forest in January. The deal, which also involved Alvaro Montoro, Blocked after legal intervention Prevented John Textor from completing the transfer without the approval of the club’s social arm.

Fulham could benefit from timing
All this creates an openness. Danilo had previously decided to stay at Botafogo until the World Cup, believing that a January exit would not benefit his career. Now, with his value rising and interest growing, the summer window looks like the natural moment for a move.
From Fulham’s point of view, it is A player entering his primeWith Premier League experience, strong current form and a clear desire to return to Europe.
And importantly, this time the move will take place under very different circumstances compared to his forest spell.
Fulham are putting themselves in a position to act.
