It’s an fascinating twist within the saga as Milan are additionally reportedly competing with United for Fofana. Clearly each golf equipment are fishing in the identical waters.
Danilo, who’s to not be confused together with his namesakes at Juventus and PSG, joined the Difficult Timber from Brazilian facet Palmeiras in January final yr for €20 million (round €17 million) and instantly turned the lynchpin of their midfield, enjoying 15 video games and serving to his facet keep away from the drop.
Final season he performed 34 video games for Forest as they managed to remain up once more. He performed in each Premier League matches and within the FA Cup in opposition to Erik ten Hag’s males and significantly caught the attention within the 2-1 victory on the Metropolis Floor, the place he bossed the United midfield for giant elements of the sport.
Based on TNT, “Forest usually are not against a sale of Danilo, however calls for that the quantity provided be a minimum of 40 million euros [£34 million].”
That is significantly lower than PSG need for Ugarte and barely greater than Burnley need for Berge. Nonetheless, it’s significantly greater than the €25m/£21m Monaco need for Fofana.
What performs in United’s favour, nevertheless, is that Milan are money strapped, having simply purchased Emerson Royal from Spurs, and they’re unlikely to return anyplace near Forest’s asking value. Likewise they continue to be €5 million away from Monaco’s new and decreased determine for Fofana, leaving the door vast open for the Crimson Devils.
How resolute the Midlands facet are on that value stays to be seen, however United would appear to carry all of the aces when it comes to each Fofana and Danilo and could possibly take their decide of the 2 stars.
