OFFICIAL: Manchester City sign Danilo from Real Madrid
Manchester City have completed the signing of Brazilian right-back Danilo from Real Madrid for a reported fee of £26.5million.
The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium.
Danilo's arrival takes City's spending on full-backs past the £70m mark this close-season after they paid an initial £45m for Tottenham's Kyle Walker – a deal that could rise to an eventual £50m.
City have seen a number of defenders depart the club since the end of last season. Aleksandar Kolarov was sold to Roma on Saturday, following Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna in leaving.
"I am very, very happy to be joining Manchester City," the 26-year-old told the official Man City website.
"There has been strong interest from other Clubs, but it has always been my ambition to play for Pep Guardiola."
