La Liga giants Real Madrid have agreed to sign Porto full-back Danilo in the
summer window, according to BBC
reports.
The
23-year-old became a regular player for Brazil last summer while representing his
country in the World Cup.
Danilo
has also been an impressive player for the Portuguese side who are enjoying
their fine run in the Portuguese league and also in the Champions League.
Porto
are on second spot three points behind Benfica while they have qualified for
Champions League quarter final stages and will play German giants Bayern Munich
this month.
Danilo
has scored three goals in 23 league games so far this term.
Porto
confirmed the move that they have reached an agreement with Real Madrid over
their defender’s deal. Also, Real confirmed that they have sealed a long term
partnership with Danilo.

The
Los Blancos’ current right-back Alvaro Arbeloa and Dani Carvajal are now likely
to leave the club in the summer.
Premier League side Arsenal were once interested in his move last summer after the World Cup, however, boss Arsene Wenger didn’t take it seriously.
Danilo has made more than 100 appearances for Porto since his move in 2012.
