Real agrees Danilo deal

EUROPEAN champion Real Madrid has completed the signing of Brazilian international right-back Danilo from FC Porto on a six-year deal.

“Real Madrid and Porto have reached an agreement for the transfer of Danilo, who will join next season and be tied to the club until June 30, 2021,” the Spanish La Liga club said in a statement yesterday.

A statement by Porto to the Portuguese stock exchange said the deal was worth 31.5 million euros (US$34.2 million)

The 23-year-old joined Porto from Santos in 2012 and has won two league titles with the Portuguese giant as well as playing a big part in its run to the quarterfinal of the Champions League where it will face Bayern Munich next month.

Danilo also won a silver medal with Brazil at the 2012 Olympic Games and has become a regular with his national team since Dunga took charge of the five-time world champion following a disappointing World Cup on home soil last year.
