Derek McInnes green lights Danilo exit as next Rangers transfer closes in
The Brazilian has never quite made it in Glasgow despite signing for £6million, with injuries and form hitting him hard.
Several managers haven't helped, and Derek McInnes looks set to be the final one he'll see in Govan.
With two years left on his contract, the door has opened to leave for good.
Lawrence Shankland has already been signed from Hearts, with more activity expected in the final third two.
With the Scottish Premiership now two weeks away, Danilo looks set to be heading out with others coming in.
What do we know about Danilo's exit?
Ibrox News has covered reports that a loan-to-buy move to Botafogo was close to bing finalised for Danilo.
That appears to have progressed now.
The Daily Record has reported in its print edition that McInnes has given the green light to a move back to Brazil.
Respected journalist Keith Jackson states in the newspaper on Tuesday that as Danilo leaves, Vanja Dragojevic will come in.
The Serbian midfielder will become signing number seven, with a new right winger immediately becoming the next priority.
Danilo highlights serious Rangers transfer issue
With the 49ers and Andrew Cavenagh now in charge, the transfer policy has changed at Ibrox.
After years of mismanagement both in and out, things are changing for the better.
That was seen by smart recruitment decisions, attacking the continent for younger players such as Tuur Rommens and Tochi Chukwuani.
Money has been thrown around on the likes of Youssef Chermiti too, but with interest already growing this summer, it's been money well spent.
Danilo costing £6m immediately set off alarm bells given his career before, and he looks set to be sold for much less than that if this loan is succesful.
After a failed return to the Netherlands last season, McInnes will be hoping to at least recoup some of that massive fee spent before he arrived.
Shankland and Chermiti will likely lead a two-man attack next season, and with Ryan Naderi and Bojan Miovski behind, Rangers are well set.
