Chelsea are interested in signing Real Madrid full-back Danilo in the summer transfer window, according to Marca.

The Spanish newspaper claims that the Premier League champions have made an enquiry about the 25-year-old but there is currently no offer on the table.

The report claims that the La Liga giants are open to the idea of letting the Brazilian leave the Bernabeu this summer but they will only listen to offers around £30million.

It is said that Danilo is also favouring a move away from the Spanish capital as he is determined to secure a place in the Brazil national team for the upcoming World Cup finals in Russia.

Marca reports that the Blues will face some competition to land the defender as Serie A champions Juventus are also keen on signing the Brazilian.

Danilo signed for Madrid from Portuguese side Porto at the beginning of the 2015-16 campaign but he has been unable to hold down a regular place in the starting lineup.

The Brazilian spent the majority of last season watching on from the substitutes bench as manager Zinedine Zidane preferred to use Dani Carvajal in the right-back position.

The defender only managed to feature in 25 matches in all competitions last season, contributing with one goal and three assists.

The full-back has enjoyed huge success during his two-year spell in Spain, winning two Champions League trophies and a La Liga title.

The Brazilian’s current contract at the Bernabeu expires in 2021.
