The Russian club has improved its proposal as it looks to convince the Botafogo midfielder to reject Palmeiras
Zenit have stepped up their pursuit of Botafogo midfielder Danilo by submitting an improved contract offer that surpasses the salary proposed by Palmeiras. The Russian club are now pushing to convince the 24-year-old to continue his career in the Russian Premier League rather than remain in Brazil.Zenit raise financial package to secure transfer
According to Brazilian reports, Zenit have significantly increased their salary offer in an attempt to gain the upper hand in the race for Danilo. While Palmeiras remain interested in signing the midfielder, the financial terms on the table from the Russian side are understood to be considerably more attractive.
The decision now rests with the player, who is evaluating both sporting and financial factors before choosing his next destination. Botafogo are waiting for developments as interest in one of their key midfielders continues to grow during the transfer window.
Palmeiras remain hopeful despite Russian competition
Palmeiras still view Danilo as an important target to strengthen their midfield, but Zenit's improved proposal has complicated negotiations. The Brazilian club are unlikely to match the financial package being offered by the Russian giants.
If Danilo accepts Zenit's proposal, talks between the clubs are expected to accelerate in the coming days. The defensive midfielder has become one of the most sought-after players in the Brazilian market, with his future likely to be decided soon.
