Rangers striker Danilo is reportedly set to leave Ibrox this summer.

According to Sky Sports, the forward is poised to make a return to his homeland with talks close to being finalised.

Danilo has been tipped to complete an exit to join Brazilian club Botafogo.

It's thought discussions are ongoing over a loan deal for the striker.

The agreement is expected to include a buy option which will hinge on the number of matches played by Danilo at Botafogo.

Danilo, 27, signed for Rangers for £6 million in 2023 but has struggled to nail down a starting spot in Glasgow.

He spent time on loan in the Eredivisie with NEC Nijmegen last season.

Danilo did not travel with the Rangers squad for their pre-season trip to Spain with the expectation he would leave the club.

He had interest from South America, the Netherlands and Cyprus.
