Danilo Set to Join Napoli After Weekend Clash with Juventus

Napoli are on the verge of securing the signature of Brazilian defender Danilo, with the deal expected to be finalized after the upcoming weekend. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the transfer will take place following the highly anticipated match between Napoli and Juventus, adding an intriguing subplot to an already crucial fixture.

Danilo has reportedly made the decision to terminate his contract with Juventus, paving the way for his move to Napoli. The experienced defender has chosen to continue his career in Serie A under Antonio Conte’s guidance, despite interest from several Brazilian clubs in recent days.

The timing of the transfer is significant, as it will occur after the direct confrontation between Napoli, led by Antonio Conte, and Juventus, now under the management of Thiago Motta. This strategic timing allows Danilo to avoid the awkward situation of potentially facing his soon-to-be former teammates.

This season has seen Danilo struggle for playing time at Juventus. The Brazilian defender has made only 12 appearances in Serie A and a mere 4 in the Champions League. Notably, he has not featured at all in the Coppa Italia, highlighting his diminished role in the squad.
