Danilo could leave Juventus in January but on one condition

 

 

A report in the Italian press doesn’t rule out the departure of Juventus captain Danilo in the middle of the season. However, this scenario could only ensue on one condition. ............

 

Nevertheless, the 33-year-old has been enduring a torrid start of the season under Thiago Motta who hasn’t been trusting him with a regular starting spot. The new Juventus manager is instead preferring to rely on the young Nicolo Savona as his main right-back, while Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu have formed a solid centre-back partnership following Gleison Bremer’s injury.

 

So a January departure remains on the cards for Danilo, but only if the management can find two new defenders. ............

 

To his credit, Danilo has refused to cause any stir, humbly accepting his reduced role at the club. But it remains to be seen if he’ll be seeking a swift departure. The Brazilian’s contract will expire at the end of the season, and based on his limited amount of playing time, he’s unlikely to trigger an automatic renewal.

Danilo wants the automatic renewal clause in his contract removed

 

 

Juventus captain Danilo has requested the removal of the automatic renewal clause in his contract, signalling his potential departure as a free agent at the end of the season. The clause currently allows for an automatic extension if he plays in 50% of the team’s matches this season. However, Danilo appears to recognise that his role under new manager Thiago Motta is becoming increasingly limited, with the coach favouring younger players for both immediate and long-term plans. ............

 

This decision reflects Danilo’s desire not to stay at the club simply for the sake of remaining at a top side. He is looking for an opportunity to contribute meaningfully and does not want to be tied to a contract that may not align with his career aspirations. ............

 

Juventus, on the other hand, might view this situation as a chance to facilitate a transition to a younger squad. The club can take advantage of Danilo’s situation to integrate emerging talents more consistently, aligning with Motta’s approach of building for the future. ............

Danilo’s night to forget proves why Motta has sidelined him

 

 

Danilo’s role at Juventus has come under intense scrutiny following the team’s 1-0 loss to Stuttgart, where the Brazilian’s performance left much to be desired.  ............

 

Motta has gradually started to phase Danilo out of the regular starting lineup, favouring other defenders who are seen as stronger options. However, with the recent injury to Gleison Bremer, Danilo found himself back in the starting eleven, including in the crucial Champions League fixture against Stuttgart. Unfortunately, the opportunity to demonstrate his continued worth to the team did not go as planned.

 

The Brazilian was involved in a series of errors that contributed to Juve’s downfall. He was at fault for Stuttgart’s disallowed goal, which was overturned by VAR, and later conceded a penalty that resulted in his dismissal from the match after receiving a second yellow card. His rash challenge not only left Juve with ten men for the remainder of the game but also further highlighted his declining form.

 

“It was a night to forget and just shows why the Brazilian probably no longer belongs at Juventus.” ............

New Man United boss Amorim keen to bring in Juventus defender

 

 

Incoming Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly determined to sign Juventus captain Danilo when the transfer window opens in January. ............

 

Amorim will ask Man United to go after Danilo in January. This would be a return to Manchester for the 33-year-old plied his trade at Man City between 2017 and 2019 before sealing a move to Juventus. ............

 

 

The Brazilian cemented himself as a stalwart in Turin over the years, and has been the club’s first captain since 2023. However, his role has been reduced this season under the guidance of Thiago Motta. He also failed to impress in his most recent starts against Stuttgart, Inter  and Parma, prompting the manager to drop him from the lineup in favor of Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu.

 

Moreover, Danilo is currently running on an expiring contract, and he appears likely to leave Turin at the end of the season. ............

Brazilian club wants to sign Juventus veteran in January

 

 

Danilo, Juventus’ captain and a seasoned defender, has been struggling to deliver consistent performances for the Bianconeri. Despite his leadership role, the Brazilian has faced mounting criticism for his defensive lapses, which some attribute to his age catching up with him. This decline in form has inevitably led to speculation about his future with the club, and rumours of a potential move away are beginning to gather steam.

 

Vasco da Gama, one of Brazil’s most iconic football clubs, is eyeing Danilo as a potential signing during the January transfer window. The Rio de Janeiro-based team is said to be eager to add the experienced defender to their ranks, believing his leadership qualities could be invaluable as they aim to strengthen their squad.

 

However, Juventus finds itself in a difficult position. Although Danilo has struggled to perform at the highest level, the club’s ongoing injury crisis in defence has made him a crucial figure in their squad. With several defenders sidelined due to long-term injuries, Juventus has been forced to rely on Danilo’s availability, even when his performances have not been up to par.

 

The report suggests that Juventus may not allow Danilo to leave in January, as losing him mid-season could leave the team dangerously short of defensive options. ............

Danilo open to Napoli transfer but Juventus set key condition

 

Juventus captain Danilo is reportedly enticed by a January switch to Napoli, but the Bianconeri won’t grant him safe passage south unless they get their hands on their own transfer target. ............

 

The 33-year-old has failed to impress when given the opportunities, as he’s been struggling to deal with young and pacey strikers. Danilo is only getting the nod these days due to a ravaging injury crisis that left Motta with hardly any choices. Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal are out for the season, while Nicolo Savona is dealing with a slight muscle problem. ............

 

The Brazil captain is a transfer target of Napoli ahead of the January transfer market, as Antonio Conte appreciates his quality and experience. Moreover, he would find an old ally in Giovanni Manna, the former Juventus official who currently serves as the Partenopei’s sporting director. ............

 

Juventus remains hesitant, as they wouldn’t want to strengthen a direct rival in the middle of the season.

Nevertheless, the Bianconeri would be willing to negotiate if Napoli would consider selling them Giacomo Raspadori. ............

Danilo will not be available for transfer even if Juventus sign a new defender

 

Danilo’s situation at Juventus has become a significant topic as the Brazilian defender underperforms and approaches the final six months of his contract. Once an undisputed starter and a key figure under former manager Max Allegri, Danilo now finds himself in a diminished role under Thiago Motta, who has often opted to bench the club captain when other defensive options are available.

 

Despite his reduced playing time, Danilo reportedly wants to stay at Juventus and sign a new deal. However, the club appears less inclined to extend his contract, suggesting a potential parting of ways at the end of the season. Interest from other clubs could open the door to a January move, especially as Juventus is actively seeking reinforcements to address injuries to Juan Cabal and Gleison Bremer. ............

 

Danilo remains one of the most seasoned players in the squad, bringing leadership and experience to a relatively young team. While his on-pitch performances may not be at their peak, his presence in the dressing room and ability to step in when needed are still valuable. Allowing him to leave as a free agent next summer, rather than in January, ensures Juventus can maintain depth during a challenging campaign. ............

“My bond with Juventus goes beyond playing time” – Danilo reveals his desire

 

Juventus captain Danilo is determined to stay at the club at least until the end of the season, reiterating his unbreakable bond with the club. ............

 

But while the Brazilian was an undisputed starter at the back in previous years, he endured a rough patch at the start of the season. Between reduced playing time and some uncharacteristically poor displays, many believe the veteran’s stint at Continassa could be put to a merciful end as early as January.

 

Nevertheless, Danilo bounced back with a formidable display against his old employers Manchester City, leading Juventus towards a crucial Champions League victory on Wednesday night. ............

 

“Even in the summer, they were linking me to several other clubs,” recalled Danilo in his post-match interview.

 

“But I never said anything, I never asked to leave, I’ll always make myself available for the club. My bond goes beyond playing time. Of course, the last performances have been up and down, they weren’t at my level, but I always make myself available.”

 

The Brazil skipper made it clear that he wishes to honor his contract by staying until the end of the season.

 

“I want to stay here until the end of my contract, I’ve never seen a captain who left his team halfway through the season and I won’t be that one.” ............

Pavan discourages Juventus from selling Danilo in January

 

 

Juventus has reportedly opened the door for Danilo to leave in the January transfer window, a decision that has left journalist Massimo Pavan surprised. The Brazilian defender, who is also the club’s captain, did not start the season as a first-choice option but has since regained relevance following a series of injuries in Juve’s defensive ranks. ............

 

Interest in Danilo has been steady over the last few months, with Napoli and several clubs from Saudi Arabia expressing a desire to sign him. Despite this, Juventus had previously maintained that the 33-year-old was not available for transfer. The sudden shift in their approach is reportedly driven by the desire to generate funds from his sale while they still can. ............

 

Pavan reacted to the news with surprise, especially considering Juventus’ ongoing involvement in the Champions League. Pavan said: “I would be surprised by Danilo’s transfer, having two Champions League games to play. It would be a slightly risky choice with few replacements in defence. It would be better after the two European games, if anything.”

 

Danilo’s leadership and experience have been crucial for Juventus, and losing him mid-season could prove costly. ............ 

 

The club must weigh the financial benefits of selling Danilo against the risks of destabilising the squad. A new signing would need time to adapt to Juventus’ system and build chemistry with teammates, a challenge that could impact the team’s performance in crucial games. ............

Danilo’s Juventus exit looms: Defender set to miss Italian Super Cup

 

 

Danilo’s future at Juventus appears increasingly uncertain as the Brazilian defender is expected to be left out of the squad for the upcoming Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. This development signals a growing rift between the player and the club, hinting at an imminent departure.

 

Thiago Motta has made the decision not to include Danilo in the team’s roster for the match against Milan, and potentially for subsequent games against Inter or Atalanta. ............

 

The exclusion from such a significant tournament fuels speculation about Danilo’s potential transfer in the upcoming winter market. Napoli has emerged as the frontrunner to secure his services, with the defender’s contract set to expire in June. A January transfer represents Juventus’s last opportunity to monetize this valuable asset. ............

 

The main point of contention in negotiations between Napoli and Juventus revolves around the transfer fee. Juventus is seeking compensation for releasing Danilo, while Napoli hopes to acquire him on a free transfer, considering his imminent free agent status in the summer.

 

Danilo’s current situation at Juventus is precarious, with the club open to his departure. There’s a possibility of terminating his contract six months early, though this scenario remains unlikely at present. His departure would allow Juventus to offload his substantial wages, reported to be around €4 million net per season. ............

AC Milan could overtake Napoli in the race to sign Danilo

 

 

Juventus has reportedly made Danilo available for transfer this month, with Napoli emerging as the strongest contender for his signature. The Brazilian defender has been a reliable presence in Turin, but his departure now seems imminent as Juventus reshuffles its squad. Napoli manager Antonio Conte is particularly keen on Danilo, as he believes the player’s experience and leadership could strengthen Napoli’s struggling backline. ............

 

While Napoli remains in pole position for his signature, the situation has taken a twist with interest from AC Milan. Milan views Danilo as an asset who could enhance their defence and provide much-needed versatility. Juventus, however, reportedly sees an opportunity in Milan’s interest. The Bianconeri might prefer to negotiate with Milan if it expedites their pursuit of Fikayo Tomori, a key defensive target for the club.

 

Danilo’s departure would leave a noticeable gap in Juventus’ backline, and the club must act quickly to find reinforcements. ............

“A real man” – Former Juventus winger believes Danilo deserved a better sendoff

 

 

While Danilo is unceremoniously heading towards the exit door, his former Juventus teammate Federico Bernardeschi can’t help but feel the Brazilian deserved better. ............

 

The former Real Madrid man should not have much trouble finding himself a new club, with Milan and, especially, Napoli reportedly keen to sign him.

 

Nevertheless, Bernardeschi still believes that the versatile defender deserved better treatment after years of valiant service.

 

“Danilo is a real man and an important player, he deserved to finish his time at Juventus differently,” argued the Euro 2020 winner in his interview. ............

 

It should be noted that Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli claimed that the decision was made following an agreement with the player’s entourage, but many feel Danilo has been pushed out of the club, perhaps similarly to his predecessor Leonardo Bonucci almost 18 months ago, albeit minus the drama and legal disputes.

 

The Brazil captain’s contract with the Bianconeri runs until the end of the season, and he has always insisted he wasn’t going to cause any stir in case the club asks him to leave, and has thus far remained true to his word. ............

Danilo tells Juventus he wants to move to Serie A rivals

 

 

Danilo has now made it clear to Juventus that he wants to join Napoli, following weeks of speculation about his future. The defender has effectively been removed from the club’s plans as Juventus looks to make room for new signings in the January transfer window. He was notably left at home when the rest of the squad travelled for the Super Cup, an indication that his time at Juventus is coming to an end. Danilo has reportedly accepted his situation and is ready to move on. ............

 

Danilo’s preferred destination is Napoli, a move that has been widely speculated in recent weeks. The report claims that the defender has now formally requested that Juventus allow him to join Napoli, and talks between the two clubs are expected to intensify in the coming days. ............

 

Although selling to a rival may seem like a bold decision, the club may see this as the right opportunity to let Danilo go. Given his contract situation, if Juventus waits too long, Danilo could run down his deal and eventually join Napoli on a free transfer. ............

Juventus star could opt against remaining in Europe and ignore Napoli

 

 

Juventus defender Danilo has been linked with a move away from the club during this January transfer window after the Bianconeri excluded him from their plans for the remainder of the season.

 

The 33-year-old’s contract is set to expire in the summer, but Juventus focused on building for the future, has reportedly decided not to extend his stay at the Allianz Stadium. ............

 

The Brazilian is now attracting interest from his homeland and Saudi Arabia, which could see him opt against joining Napoli. Santos and Flamengo have emerged as serious contenders for his signature, with both clubs working on offers to bring him back to Brazil.

 

Napoli, on the other hand, remains interested and is reportedly preparing an 18-month deal for the defender. However, delays in their approach may allow one of the Brazilian sides to swoop in and secure his services.

 

 

Juventus is reportedly open to facilitating a move for Danilo. The club is simply waiting for him to decide on his next destination and has indicated that they are willing to terminate his contract if it ensures a smooth departure. ............

 

Ultimately, the defender must decide whether he wishes to continue competing in Europe, with Napoli offering a chance to remain in Serie A, or return to Brazil for a new chapter in his career. Saudi Arabia also presents an intriguing option with the potential for a lucrative deal, adding further complexity to his decision. ............

“I’m sorry too” – Juventus defender saddened by imminent departure

 

 

Juventus captain Danilo expressed his sorrow as his departure from Continassa edges ever closer. ............

 

The two parties are currently negotiating a contract termination. This would allow the club to save the remaining part of the defender’s salary, while the player would be free to sign for a new club.

 

Nevertheless, Danilo certainly isn’t happy to leave Juventus after fully immersing himself in the club’s culture over the past five years.

 

The departing captain met with a few fans outside the J|Hotel at Continassa. The supporters voiced their disappointment over his imminent exit, and the Brazil international replied by saying: “I’m sorry too.”

 

The experienced defender is widely expected to join Napoli once he releases himself from his Juventus contract. ............

Danilo bids Juventus farewell, aims several digs at the management: “I can no longer be part of this project”

 

 

Danilo saluted Juventus fans as his contract termination was made official on Monday. The former club captain bid the Bianconeri farewell with an open letter that included a few subtle digs at the management.

 

The 33-year-old was a stalwart at the club in recent years and inherited the captain’s armband in the summer of 2023 having already cemented himself as the de facto locker-room leader. ............

 

For his part, the former Real Madrid and Man City star penned an open letter to the Bianconeri supporters, explaining how this farewell isn’t easy for him.

 

“Dear Bianconeri, I don’t know where to start, I knew it would come but you’re never ready to say goodbye. Five and a half years have passed but for me it’s like a lifetime,” wrote Danilo.

 

“It’s never easy to part with a love, a place that has given me so much, a shirt with great emotions, a club where I rediscovered the values that have accompanied me throughout my career and learned from my parents.” ............

 

 

“I learned from the great men in the locker room, and I too have become a teacher and defender of these values. Tooth and nail, as if they were part of me, like the teachings to my children who have also made Turin their home and have become great fans of these colours.

 

“Perhaps it’s out of respect for these values that I can no longer be part of this project. It makes me proud that I have never changed my way of being, my way of defending the most important club in my career.” ............

 

 

“I apologize to our fans for the moments in which I may have disappointed, never for lack of commitment, dedication, or hard work.  And I thank you for the welcome, the respect, and the bond built along the way.

 

“I have always felt like your representative on the pitch. When I listened to the anthem you sing at the stadium I was moved, I was fired up, and these things you cannot buy with every imaginative project.” ............

 

 

“To conclude, it is right to quote a phrase that a certain gentleman named Andrea Agnelli once said: ‘Our awareness will be our challenge. To live up to the history of Juventus. We will recognize each other everywhere with a glance. We are the people of Juventus.’ Thank you for everything. A hug from the captain, goodbye.”

 

Danilo is widely expected to return to his native Brazil and sign for Flamengo.
