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.
