Nottingham Forest are reportedly getting closer to a deal for Palmeiras midfielder Danilo.
The 21-year-old, who has already been called up to the Brazil national team, has been a constant in Palmeiras' midfield since breaking into the team as a 19-year-old. Danilo has twice won the Copa Libertadores and finished the most recent league season in Brazil by winning Serie A, alongside Forest’s new signing Gustavo Scarpa.
Forest are claimed to be in the market for a defensive midfielder this month and were reported by The Telegraph to be “in talks” with Palmeiras over a move for Danilo. Brazilian outlets have now picked up the story and have given an update on Forest’s negotiations.
