Juventus defender Danilo finds himself at the center of transfer speculation as the January window approaches. The Brazilian international, whose contract with the Bianconeri expires in June, may be on the move sooner than expected.
Reports from Calciomercato suggest that Danilo has already given his approval to join Napoli, where he would reunite with former coach Antonio Conte. The Partenopei are prepared to offer the 33-year-old a contract running through June 2026. However, the potential move is not without complications. Juventus may seek financial compensation if an agreement to terminate Danilo’s contract six months early cannot be reached.
In an unexpected twist, a new suitor has emerged from Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr, coached by former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli and home to Cristiano Ronaldo, are attempting to hijack the deal. While no concrete offer has been made, intermediaries are working behind the scenes to entice Danilo with a lucrative proposal.
The situation is further complicated by ongoing discussions between Juventus and Napoli regarding a potential player swap. The Turin giants are interested in Napoli’s forward Giacomo Raspadori, while the Azzurri have shown interest in Juventus midfielder Nicolò Fagioli.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Danilo’s future remains uncertain. The experienced defender must weigh his options carefully, considering the prospect of remaining in Serie A with Napoli or embarking on a new adventure in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr.
