Ancelotti: No Madrid deal for Danilo but he is a player I like

Carlo Ancelotti has refused to be drawn on speculation that Real Madrid have agreed a deal with Porto for Danilo - but nonetheless admitted that he is a fan of the right-back. According to reports in Spain, Porto have accepted a €25 million bid for the Brazil international, who will imminently sign a six-year contract with Los Blancos. Ancelotti was thus asked at a press conference on Friday if he has already spoken with Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Arbeloa about the imminent arrival of another right-back. "I don't need to talk to them about this Danilo issue," the Madrid boss told reporters in the Spanish capital. "They know not to listen to rumours during this stage of the season. We have not really talked about Danilo. We do not talk about signings. "Of course, I know all the players in Europe, because I keep track of all the championships. I also, of course, know Danilo. "I like him, but I like many other players now in Europe ..." source: goal
