Rangers striker Danilo has headed back home to Brazil, joining top-flight side Botafogo on a season-long loan that comes with what the Ibrox club have described as a conditional obligation to buy, according to BBC News.
The 27-year-old had fallen out of favour under previous head coach Danny Rohl, spending much of last season on the fringes of the squad. His departure marks the end of a spell in Glasgow that never quite delivered on early promise, and Rangers will now be hoping the move works in both parties' favour — offering Danilo a fresh start in the Brazilian top flight while potentially banking a fee further down the line if Botafogo trigger the buy clause.
While the loan is confirmed, the permanent transfer remains contingent on conditions being met, so it's not yet a done deal in terms of a full sale. Rangers' rebuild under new management continues, with squad trimming clearly part of the plan as they look to reshape their forward options.
