Chelsea Make Contact With Real Madrid Over Danilo Transfer

Real Madrid player Danilo has been attracting interest from both Chelsea and Juve despite a mixed season with the La Liga champions.

According to reports, both Chelsea and Juventus have made enquiries into the possibility of signing the player during the summer window.

In the just concluded season, Chelsea won the Premier League title while Juventus also won the Serie A title. Both champions are still hoping to strengthen their defensive options in the coming months.

The Stamford Bridge club won the Premier League in Antonio Conte’s first campaign in England and the Italian wants to build on his impressive first season.

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri was also able to lead his side to emerge champions after losing five games throughout the season, and he hopes to bring Danilo to Turin.

There are recent claims in Italy that the defender is close to agreeing to terms with Juventus over a summer switch, and the old ladies are believed to have an edge over Chelsea for his signature.

But Spanish news source Marca reported that the Blues are also interested in securing a deal for the player, despite enduring a mixed campaign at the Bernabeu.

Danilo was signed by Real Madrid from Porto two years ago, and he could only play 20 games for Zinedine Zidane’s side last campaign.

Real Madrid will consider offers between the range of £30million for the Brazilian.
