Real Madrid have reached an agreement with FC Porto to sign Brazilian right-back Danilo for 23 million pounds at the end of the current season. Danilo, aged 23, has become a regular in the Brazilian national team after new head coach Carlos Dunga took over last summer. He also had impressive performances for Porto en route to the Champions League quarter finals.
A statement by FC Porto to the Portuguese stock exchange confirmed deal and the fee while Real Madrid issued a statement confirming the move. The player will be under contract with Real Madrid until 2021.
Real Madrid currently have 23-year-old Spaniard Dani Carvajal and 32-year-old veteran Alvaro Arbeloa as right backs. Danilo's transfer could mean that Alvaro Arbeloa will leave the club while Carvajal might stay and compete for a place in the team. Danilo has made 80 appearances for FC Porto since joining the team in 2012 and also managed to score 8 goals.
Real Madrid are 3/1 at Bet365 to win the Primera Liga title this season.

There are so many rumors and news about this young Porto's player. I had opportunity to watch Danilo playing in Porto and I must say that he is very big talent. There is no question if this will be good signing for Real Madrid. But on the other side, there are so much high-class players there and I'm afraid that Danilo...

There is no question if this will be good signing for Real Madrid. But on the other side, there are so much high-class players there and I'm afraid that Danilo will not have to much opportunities to play there and to gain some experience. But we will see what will happen in the future. I wish him good luck.

This is a sign that in club doesn't believe that Carvahal has enough quality to be first choice on the position on the right back. Danilo is such a good player, and this piece of business is great for Real. They catch good and young player. Danilo will must prove his quality to stand up for his place in starting eleven,...

This is great move for Real Madrid. In last few years they make good moves with transfers, they sign a lot of young players and this club have bright future. I think that is time for Alvaro Arbeloa to leave Real Madrid and to be honest I don't know is he ever had quality to play in Real Madrid. Now they will have two young and great players on position right back and they don't need to worry about that position anymore.
