Porto have reached a ‘total’ agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of Brazilian full-back Danilo, according to Calcio Mercato.
The Portuguese giants have agreed to sell Danilo for €30 million (roughly £21.5 million) in the summer, reports Calcio Mercato, seemingly putting an end to the speculation over the Brazilian’s future.
Manchester United had been linked with a move for him, according to The Metro, but they now look set to miss out on the 23-year-old, who has impressed for Porto this season.
Danilo has impressed this season for Porto
The Brazil international has made seven appearances in the Champions League this season, with Porto winning five of those and drawing the other two. They also drew the one game he did not feature in, remaining unbeaten in Europe so far.
Danilo has created eight chances in those seven games and won a massive 70% of his duels, proving to be a solid and dependable option at right-back, as well as an attacking outlet going forward.

It looks as though Real Madrid had won the race for the Brazilian, which will be a blow to United, who are in desperate need of a natural right-back.
Louis van Gaal has preferred winger Antonio Valencia to Rafael on the right of defence this season, though neither have been particularly impressive and reinforcements will be needed in the summer.
