Manchester City may have already signed Kyle Walker, but Pep Guardiola wants to strengthen the right-back position even further and the Catalan coach has convinced Danilo that the project at the Etihad is one worth joining. The 26-year-old's positional versatility has impressed Guardiola and should see Danilo fit into his plans.
Chelsea were also in the race to sign the current Real Madrid backup right-back, who is keen for more playing time, but City have taken the lead and, barring any changes, the player should sign in the coming days.
The agreement between the player and the English club has been set out, meaning that all that is left is for the two institutions to work out a deal.
That shouldn't prove too problematic, given that the Sky Blues had already made it clear that they could reach the asking price of 30 to 35 million euros. As such, Danilo's Real Madrid career is nearing its end.
