Incoming Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo has bid an emotional farewell to current club Palmeiras.
The 24-year-old is leaving the Brazilian club after five years, and will be joining his former teammate Gustavo Scarpa at the City Ground. He will become the second signing of the month for the Reds, and head coach Steve Cooper will be pleased to have bolstered his midfield even further.
Danilo has taken to Instagram to post an emotional message to the club he is leaving. "The day has come to say goodbye to Palmeiras, the club where I made so many dreams come true," he said.

"It's been 5 years since I arrived and here at this club I've won titles that I've always dreamed of, since my days at Paçoca, at Fazenda Coutos III. With this shirt we won 2 Libertadores, 1 Copa do Brasil, 1 Campeonato Brasileiro, 1 Campeonato Paulista and 1 Recopa, here I was embraced and also criticised but above all I was very happy!
"I thank God for being with me at all times, my family for whom I live, my friends inside and outside the club, I thank the coaching staff and other employees for all these years. To the Palmeiras fans, my respect and gratitude for supporting me at all times, I also thank my staff for dreaming my dreams with me.
"I'm going to make another dream come true and be sure, I carry a heavy baggage, full of experiences and experiences and in it goes a Brazil with me, always, wherever I am!
"Thanks Palmeiras!"
