Chelsea are reportedly close to finalising the transfer of Real Madrid defender Danilo according to Brazilian media outlet UOL.

According to the report, Danilo would join Chelsea for a fee of €31 million, which is €500,000 less than the amount Real Madrid paid FC Porto to sign the Brazilian right-back in 2015.

Danilo has struggled during his time at Real Madrid and Chelsea fans would be surprised at Chelsea’s decision to buy the right-back who is set to turn 26.

Juventus were interested in signing Danilo but Chelsea have reportedly won the race to sign the Brazilian.
