Danilo’s Transfer Plans Hit Snag
Nottingham Forest’s Danilo was set to join Lyon in a £20m deal, but the French club’s relegation to Ligue 2 has thrown a wrench in the works. With Lyon’s future uncertain, Danilo’s transfer plans are now up in the air.
Loan Move to Real Betis
According to reports, Real Betis is interested in signing Danilo on loan from Nottingham Forest. The Spanish club has a history of reviving careers, having helped Antony rediscover his form last season. A move to Betis could be the perfect opportunity for Danilo to regain his confidence and form.

Uncertainty Over Lyon’s Future
Even if Lyon manages to appeal their relegation, it’s unclear whether they’ll be allowed to spend £20m on Danilo. This uncertainty has slowed down the transfer talks, making a loan move to Real Betis a more viable option. Lyon’s financial woes have surely put an end to any talks of a big-money transfer.
Best Move for Danilo
A move to Real Betis could be beneficial for Danilo, allowing him to play regular football and gain valuable experience in the UEFA Europa League. With Forest’s squad set to compete in Europe, Danilo won’t miss out on the experience. While the deal may not suit Forest’s financial interests, it could be the best move for the player.

Disappointment for Forest Fans
Forest fans were disappointed with Danilo’s performances towards the end of the season, so a move could be the right thing for all parties involved. However, missing out on the £20m from Lyon will be a significant loss for the club. Evangelos Marinakis will likely be disappointed with the turn of events.
Danilo’s Situation
Danilo’s ankle injury at the start of last season may have impacted his performances, but it’s clear that he’s not a key player in Nuno Espírito Santo’s plans. With Elliot Anderson and Ibrahim Sangare forming a solid midfield pair, Danilo’s opportunities at Forest may be limited.

Perfect Opportunity
A loan move to Real Betis could be the perfect opportunity for Danilo to rediscover his form and gain valuable experience. The club’s history of helping players revive their careers is a positive sign, and Danilo could benefit from the move.
