Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo has joined Brazilian club Botafogo on a four-year deal.

The Brazilian signed for Forest from Palmeiras in January 2023 for a fee of about £16m.

He made 62 appearances in all competitions with the majority of those coming in his first full season with the club.

The 24-year-old featured just 13 times in 2024-25 after suffering a broken ankle during the opening-day draw against Bournemouth.

Forest said: "Everyone at Nottingham Forest thanks Danilo for his contribution while at the club, wishing him the very best for the next stage of his career."
