Danilo dos Santos has become a significant offensive contributor for Botafogo during the 2026 Brasileirão season. Although he plays as a defensive midfielder, he has recorded 13 goals total for the year, including 10 in league competition.

Following a goal in a 1-1 draw against Coritiba, Danilo became the highest-scoring midfielder in the Campeonato Brasileiro. His season performance, which includes 21 total goal involvements across 37 matches, has resulted in a call-up for the 2026 World Cup.

Despite his success, his future at Botafogo remains uncertain. The club is open to offers, with an asking price set at approximately 30 million euros, down from initial board expectations of between 35 and 40 million euros.
