CHELSEA have reportedly agreed personal terms with Real Madrid star Danilo.
And claims the Blues are confident of sealing a transfer after entering advanced negotiations with Los Blancos over the right-back’s transfer fee.
Chelsea have already spent £75million this summer on centre-back Antonio Rudiger and central midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
But with just Victor Moses available on the right following Cesar Azpilcueta’s conversion to the middle, Antonio Conte is keen to continue splashing the cash.
Danilo would arrive at Stamford Bridge with a real winner’s pedigree after landing numerous trophies with Real.
An agreement is expected to be reached over his price shortly, but the Brazilian himself is ready to go after shaking hands over a lucrative contract.
Chelsea are also looking to sign left-back Alex Sandro, who played with Danilo at Porto.
The Blues want a new striker as well after Conte brutally dumped Diego Costa by text.
Chelsea transfer news
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alvaro Morata are both high on Chelsea’s shopping list.
But fresh reports claim that Sergio Aguero is actually Conte’s top choice this summer.
The Argentina international is no longer top choice at Manchester City, and Pep Guardiola has allegedly given the thumbs up to sell him to the Blues.
