Manchester City have complete permanent move for Real Madrid full-back Danilo on a five-year contract for a closed fee but believed to be around £28m.

“I am very, very happy to be joining Manchester City. There has been strong interest from other clubs, but it has always been my ambition to play for Pep Guardiola.

As soon as I heard of his interest, I knew immediately I wanted to be a City player,” the 26-year-old told City’s official website.

“I can’t wait to get started and I’m looking forward to getting to know my new teammates over the coming weeks.”

“The club wants to show their appreciation for his professionalism, commitment and dedication during his time with Madrid and wishes him all the best in his new
stage.”
