In September 2013 Danilo joined Chapecoense on loan until the end of the year. He made his professional debut on 23 November, starting in a 2–1 away win against Icasa for the Série B championship; it was his maiden appearance in the competition, as his side finished second and was promoted to Série A for the first time ever.

In January 2014 Danilo joined Chape permanently, and made his top level debut on 19 April 2014, starting and keeping a clean sheet in a 0–0 home draw against Coritiba. He was an ever-present figure during the campaign, being an important defensive unit as his side maintained its division status.
