PSG: Behind the scenes of Danilo Pereira’s aborted departure

PSG had a fairly quiet summer. While many thought that the Parisian management would launch major maneuvers to replace Kylian Mbappé, this ultimately did not happen. Relying on the strengths already present in its squad, the Parisian management decided to recruit several young players capable of helping both in the short and long term. Thus, Joao Neves, Désiré Doué and Willian Pacho have set down their suitcases at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and will certainly have a role to play this season with Luis Enrique.

On the other hand, the Parisian transfer window is not a great success in terms of departures. Indeed, while the Parisian management, in consultation with Luis Enrique, had decided to place several players on the transfer list, some undesirables are still in Paris at the time of writing. This was notably the case of Danilo Pereira. The Portuguese, so important since his arrival and who has provided great service to the capital club, was on this list of undesirables one year before the end of his contract. Finally, Danilo is still in Paris.

Danilo Pereira wants to leave PSG quickly

However, the 32-year-old Portuguese has not been short of requests. With an experienced and versatile profile, the former Porto captain has been the subject of several interests, notably from Al-Ittihad, FC Porto, Fenerbahçe, Atlético de Madrid and also AS Monaco. According to our information, some offers have even been rejected by the Parisian management for his sale. Not fitting into Luis Enrique’s plans, the defensive midfielder was retained because PSG wanted to collect 10 million euros with one year to go before the end of his lease, according to our indiscretions.

Pushed towards the exit and then retained for financial reasons, Danilo is inevitably annoyed by this management that is not very rewarding for a player of his caliber. Today, it seems that PSG is still blocking his situation and this has the gift of provoking the ire of the Portuguese international (74 caps), who wants to leave the banks of the Seine in the coming days. In this sense, the interested party hopes that offers from exotic markets will be quickly accepted so that he leaves Paris, in particular via the windows that are still open (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Portugal, etc.). If he does not manage to find this exit door, Danilo could stay in the Parisian loft until the next transfer window…
