Danilo could be one of Rangers most expensive signings of the deal with Feyenoord is as close as is being reported.
The 24-year old Brazilian is the subject of another bid from the Light Blues and that it is close to the reported €7m (£6m) that the Dutch champions are looking for.
Not only is the fee big but so is the salary that Danilo will be getting if he joins Rangers, according to De Telegraaf.
Alfredo Morelos was said to be on £33,000 per week and it is easy to see why the Ibrox hierarchy weren’t interested in entertaining a pay rise.
The Colombian was said to be looking for an incredible £45,000 per week.
At his best, Rangers would struggle to justify that, never mind off the back of a campaign where he was barely fit and managed just 12 goals, it’s easy to see why he is still without a club.
Danilo deserves big money salary offer from Rangers
Danilo, on the other hand, is at the right age, with the right experience, and would be coming to Rangers as number one.
According to De Telegraaf, Danilo will be on a hefty £39,000 per week, instantly making him one of the club’s top earners.
How it should be.
Rangers first choice number nine should be one of our highest earners in that if they are the consistent match winner, the one that performs in Old Firm derbies and cup finals, then they are worth every penny.
A lot of money has left the club in the summer and Danilo is on the sort of wage that Morelos would have been offered had he been on form and winning Rangers trophies.
Only Tore Andre Flo and Ryan Kent have cost more than Danilo, and few would be on more in terms of money.
It’s a lot to live up to, but who better than a Brazilian striker who came through Ajax’s academy to be the hero Rangers fans need?
