[xXKonan]

Full name: Danilo Luís Hélio Pereira

Date of birth: September 9, 1991 (age 26)

Place of birth: Bissau, Guinea Bissau

Height: 1.88 m (6 ft 2 in)

Playing Position : Defensive Midfielder

Current Club : FC Porto​

Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau as the oldest child of Quinta Djata, a nurse, Pereira and his family moved to Portugal when he was five. He played his youth football with three clubs in the Lisbon area, finishing his formation with S.L. Benfica.

Benfica subsequently decided against signing Pereira to a professional contract, and Italian side Parma F.C. acquired him on a free transfer. He spent the second half of the 2010–11 season on loan to Aris Thessaloniki F.C. in Greece and, upon his return to the Stadio Ennio Tardini, made his first appearance in Serie A on 21 December 2011, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–3 home draw against Catania Calcio

Pereira was loaned again for 2012–13, spending the campaign with Roda JC Kerkrade in the Eredivisie[2] and being first-choice to help his team narrowly avoid relegation. On 1 August 2013 he broke all ties with Parma and returned to Portugal, joining C.S. Marítimo.

On 2 July 2015, after two seasons in Madeira as first-choice, Danilo signed a four-year contract with FC Porto also from the Primeira Liga, with a release clause of €40 million.

According to MD and Portuguese based papers Abola and Record, Robert was seen watching Danilo from the stands during the WC qualifiers between Andorra and Portugal who Robert has some good reports on.

He could be one of our Midfield options for next summer.

I fucking hope not.

I fucking hope not.

Why not?

 

[MessiCam]

I'd have Jorginho over him everyday and seven times on Sunday...

 

[DonAK]

Why not?

Because he's not good enough. We need quality, not more players to be left out of the squad or on the bench adding nothing we don't already have.

If Robert is intending on bringing such players then you sack his ass right now. Obviously Intl Break rumors and way too early for that.

I hope these guys aren't looking at him as a potential Busi successor.

He plays his best football as a pivot and he's 26 years old and he would cost a lot of money considering this is Porto we are talking about. by the time Busi gets to that point where he can't play every week anymore Danilo will also be up there in age as well.

Yeah, would be a totally boneheaded signing.

I visited a Porto FC forum, and I seen some porto fans say that he doesn't fit our style of play.

So that means we will likely buy him then.

Joking aside He can also play CB as well. But spending over 40 million for him so he can play both DM/CB even when his DM game won't suit us is just not a good idea at all. He would be lost here like Mascherano was at DM.

PSG is contemplating moving forward on breaking Danilo Pereira's release clause in their search for a 6.

Release clause is 50/60M

Not the playing style that suits Barça but a tremendous player. Has evolved a lot in playmaking skills this season due to 4-4-2 formation
