Rangers prepare to loan out Danilo to Botafogo amid playing time concerns

Summary

Rangers forward Danilo is set to leave the club on loan as he misses the pre-season training camp in Spain. Negotiations with Botafogo are reportedly advanced, with the Brazilian club interested in a temporary arrangement until June 2027. Danilo struggled for form last season, tallying only five goals in 40 appearances. He faces a challenging path, as Botafogo views him as a squad option rather than a starter. This move aims to free up salary and provide the player with more opportunities to play.
