Real Madrid have boosted their ranks by buying the Brazilian defender Danilo from Porto.

The 23-year-old, who mainly plays at right-back, will join the European champions next season after agreeing a six-year contract for a reported 31.5 million euros.

Danilo started his career at Brazilian club America before joining Santos and then moving to Porto in January 2012 where he has won two Portuguese league titles.

Danilo has also become a regular for Brazil since Dunga took over as manager after last year’s World Cup.
