It appears Chelsea are closing in on another defensive signing as the transfer window finally begins to pick up. The Express are this morning reporting that the Real Madrid right back Danilo has agreed personal terms with the Blues on a deal that will see him link up with fellow countryman David Luiz.
Antonio Conte is certainly starting to build his Chelsea team from the back. Following the addition of Antonio Rudiger, competition for places in Chelsea`s back line is looking much better.
Having played last season with the same back three for the majority, it was an area that needed strengthening with the extra games coming this term.
Danilo has failed to gain a regular place in Madrid`s starting eleven under Zinedine Zidane and is looking for a move away from the Bernabeu.
With terms agreed with the player, it`s up to the clubs to now negotiate the sale, which, the sourced story believes could be as high as £35million. But as we know, these negotiations can be fairly protracted affairs.
