Juventus Outcast Danilo Chooses Between Flamengo and Napoli

Unwanted by Juventus, defender Danilo has made his decision between Flamengo and Napoli, both of which expressed interest in signing the Brazilian.

Details. According to Sky Sport Italia, Danilo has decided to return to Brazil to join Flamengo after leaving Juventus, rather than staying in Serie A.

For weeks, there were serious rumors that Napoli had approached the Brazilian, hoping to have him replace the injured Alessandro Buongiorno.

However, Danilo opted instead for a return home to Flamengo and is now discussing the final details of the transfer. This choice was both personal and professional, marking the 33-year-old’s return to South America for the first time since 2011.

Background. The former captain fell out of favor with Thiago Motta, who, along with the club, decided that Danilo was no longer part of their plans. The player and his representatives are negotiating a mutual termination of his contract with Juventus.
