Sky reports that Napoli are throwing themselves into the hunt for Danilo. Manager Antonio Conte wants to strengthen his defence as the league leader has his sights set on a new Scudetto.
Danilo was a key player in under Massimiliano Allegri’s management, but he is not given much under manager Thiago Motta. There have been two ninety-minute games this season.
The player himself is said to be open to a transfer to Napoli. However, the data suggests that it could all stand or fall on Juventus, who do not want to lose a defender, but Danilo on grass.
Danilo has also represented Real Madrid, Porto and Santos.
