Rangers delay in Danilo transfer until Monday after £5.2m bid accepted
Danilo will not fly into Glasgow to complete his move to Rangers from Feyenoord until Monday (31 July), according to the Scottish Sun.
The newspaper reported online that a deal has been agreed between the two clubs for the Brazilian striker, but that is not expected to jet in this week.
In comes following reports from Sky Sports (25 July) that Dutch giants Feyenoord have accepted an initial offer of £5.2m for the 24-year-old, with additional add-ons.
Danilo has been a reported target for Rangers throughout the window, and will continue a huge recruitment drive at Ibrox this summer.
Seven deals have already been completed, with Danilo and Jose Cifuentes both expected to join up with Michael Beale’s men shortly.
Good things come to those who wait
This pursuit is one that has lasted pretty much throughout the whole window at Ibrox and finally it looks as though the end is nigh and Michael Beale will land yet another attacking reinforcement.
Of course, after such a lengthy chase, there is bound to be some frustration among Gers fans that there looks set to be another wait to get this one finally over the line.
But with every transfer there are always little hold ups, and logistical issues, and frankly a few more days to get it done now will not hurt anybody.
With Sam Lammers, Cyriel Dessers and Abdallah Sima already through the door, Danilo adds even more firepower to the ranks at Rangers, who lost out on the Scottish Premiership title to Celtic by seven points last season.
Beale and co. are certainly doing all they can to try and bridge the gap. Danilo, he will hope, can play a big part in doing that.
