Danilo Set to Depart Nottingham Forest in £17 Million Deal with AS Monaco
Nottingham Forest is on the verge of finalizing the departure of Brazilian midfielder Danilo, who is expected to join Ligue 1 outfit AS Monaco in a deal worth £17 million. The transfer, which is reportedly a “done deal,” could be officially announced as early as today.
Danilo, who joined Nottingham Forest from Palmeiras in January 2023, quickly became a key player for the club during their battle to remain in the Premier League. The 22-year-old midfielder was praised for his composure, technical ability, and versatility in the middle of the park. Despite his contributions, Forest has decided to part ways with the Brazilian as part of their summer transfer strategy.
Monaco, on the other hand, has been eager to bolster their midfield options and identified Danilo as a prime target. The French side sees him as a valuable addition to their squad, particularly as they aim to compete at the top end of Ligue 1 and make a strong showing in European competitions. Danilo’s experience in one of Europe’s top leagues and his potential for further development made him an attractive proposition for the Monegasque club.
The transfer marks a significant move for Danilo, who will now take on a new challenge in France. His departure will also provide Nottingham Forest with a substantial financial boost as they continue to reshape their squad ahead of the new Premier League season. Forest is expected to reinvest the funds from Danilo’s sale into new signings, as they aim to build on their successful return to England’s top flight.
With the deal all but confirmed, Nottingham Forest fans will be keeping a close eye on official announcements, as the club bids farewell to a player who made a notable impact during his short stay at the City Ground.
