Recent reports from Brazil suggest that Juventus captain Danilo could be on the verge of a surprising move back to his homeland. Il Bianconero report how Vasco da Gama, one of Brazil’s most storied clubs, has reportedly made initial inquiries about the possibility of bringing the experienced defender to Rio de Janeiro.
According to Brazilian media outlets, Vasco da Gama is already planning to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, with Danilo emerging as a high-profile target. The 32-year-old’s contract with Juventus is set to expire in June 2025, which has opened the door for speculation about his future.
While no definitive agreements have been reached with Danilo’s representatives, the situation is being closely monitored. FIFA regulations allow players to sign pre-contract agreements with other clubs six months before their current deals expire, meaning Danilo could theoretically commit to a move as early as January 2025.
However, the potential transfer faces several hurdles. Danilo remains a key figure in Juventus’ squad, and the Italian giants are unlikely to let their captain depart without significant compensation. His leadership and versatility on the pitch make him a valuable asset for the Bianconeri.
On the other hand, Danilo’s status as a veteran player might make the prospect of returning to Brazil an attractive option for concluding his illustrious career. The opportunity to play closer to home and potentially take on a mentorship role at Vasco da Gama could appeal to the Brazilian international.
