According to information from a trusted source in Brazil, the player has emerged as a potential replacement for either Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães or Chelsea’s highly-rated youngster Andrey Santos. While neither club has made an official approach, his name is reportedly being discussed internally as both sides assess their midfield options ahead of the new season.
The situation remains fluid, particularly because neither Newcastle nor Chelsea are actively looking to sell their respective midfielders. However, both clubs are believed to have contingency plans should unexpected offers arrive before the transfer window closes.
For Newcastle, any movement would likely hinge on Bruno Guimarães’ future. The Brazilian remains one of Eddie Howe’s most influential players and the club have consistently expressed their desire to keep him. Nevertheless, like every ambitious club competing in Europe, Newcastle are understood to be monitoring several alternatives in case circumstances change.
Chelsea’s interest would depend on the future of one of their emerging stars. Although the London club boast impressive depth in midfield, uncertainty over squad planning has reportedly led them to identify several possible reinforcements if adjustments become necessary later in the window.
The player himself is said to have already made his intentions clear. He reportedly has no interest in remaining in Brazil and believes returning to the domestic league at this stage of his career would significantly reduce his chances of earning regular call-ups to the Brazilian national team.
Palmeiras have been linked with the midfielder in recent weeks, but sources indicate he is reluctant to accept such a move. Instead, his priority is to return to England, where he feels he can compete at the highest level while remaining firmly in the spotlight for international selection.
Although talks are still at an early stage and no formal bids have been submitted, the coming weeks could prove decisive if Newcastle or Chelsea are forced into the market for a new midfielder.
The player at the centre of the speculation is Danilo, the former Nottingham Forest midfielder, who is reportedly eager to secure a return to the Premier League this summer.
