Danilo 'excited' by Man City move

Manchester City have announced the signing of Danilo from Real Madrid.

The defender has agreed a five-year deal and joins for an undisclosed fee, subject to being granted a work permit.

Danilo becomes Man City’s fifth summer signing following the arrivals of goalkeeper Ederson, defender Kyle Walker and midfielders Bernardo Silva and Douglas Luiz.

"It’s a big day and a pleasure to be part of this team, I hope to meet the expectations," Danilo told Mancity.com

"The Premier League is hard to describe, it is a competition I always liked, I always wanted. So I’m very excited to start on 12 August.”

The 26-year-old, who can play on the left or right side of defence, will hope to make his Premier League debut when Man City travel to promoted Brighton & Hove Albion on the opening weekend.

Danilo has joined up with his new team-mates on the club’s pre-season tour of America and may feature against Real Madrid in the International Champions Cup in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
