RANGERS striker Danilo is reportedly being considered for a loan move away from Ibrox.
The Brazilian, who joined Rangers for £6million in the summer of 2023, has been allowed to leave this month after two and a half years at the club.
Danilo, 26, scored Rangers’ second goal in Sunday’s 3–0 win over Dundee, which could prove to be his final appearance in Scotland this season.
He is said to be the number one transfer target for an Eredivisie side searching for a replacement for their star forward.
According to Dutch outlet De Gelderlander, NEC have identified Danilo as their preferred option to replace Kento Shiogai, who completed an £8.5 million move to Wolfsburg last week.
Danilo spent his entire senior career in the Netherlands before moving to Glasgow.

He came through the youth ranks at Ajax and enjoyed a loan spell at Twente, before spending a season with Feyenoord.
The striker won the Eerste Divisie with Ajax’s reserve side Jong Ajax, then went on to clinch the Eredivisie title with both Ajax’s first team and Feyenoord before joining Rangers.
He scored 29 goals in 81 appearances in the Dutch top flight during that period.
NEC believe he is the ideal fit due to his experience in the country and are pushing to get a deal over the line.

Rangers fans were convinced that Danilo’s muted goal celebration against Dundee was a sign that he’s on his way out.
Ex-Rangers star and current Motherwell midfielder spotted the moment himself and discussed it on BBC Sportscene.
He said: “You can just see from his reaction there, I don’t know if I’m potentially reading into it too much, but you do feel as if at this moment in time he is third choice striker at Rangers.
“Probably where he doesn’t want to be at this stage of his career.
“So I wonder if that is the last time we see Danilo scoring in a Rangers jersey.”
