FC Porto have slapped a €40m asking price on Brazilian full-back and Manchester United and Real Madrid target Danilo.
His impressive performances for the Portuguese giants this season have quickly caught the attention of some of the top clubs in Europe and the Brazilian international is slowly becoming one of the most sought after players in the transfer market.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has identified the 23-year-old as a priority target for the summer and wants the Brazilian to prowl down the right flank of the Bernabeu in their famous white shirt next season.
However, the club are now facing stiff competition from rivals Barcelona, who wants the Brazilian to stay put at Porto until their transfer ban expires in 2016; and international team-mate Neymar has been doing his bit to help the Catalan giants.
Manchester United and Manchester City are also keenly following the full-back’s fortunes in Portugal and the names of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have also come up in the discussions surrounding Danilo.
