Chelsea have handed a massive blow in the race for Brazilian full-back Danilo, as Manchester City have announced the signing of 26-year-old right-back, who has revealed that he turned down the chance to move elsewhere so he could work under Pep Guardiola.
Danilo is expected to compete for a place in at the Etihad Stadium with fellow new signing and right-back Kyle Walker, though he can also cover at left-back and in midfield if needed.
And the Brazil international, who has already linked up with his new team-mates in the United States, admits he is excited about getting to work under Pep Guardiola.
After penning terms on a five-year deal and completing a medical, South American defender said: ‘I am very, very happy to be joining Manchester City.
‘There has been strong interest from other clubs, but it has always been my ambition to play for Pep Guardiola. As soon as I heard of his interest, I knew immediately I wanted to be a City player.
‘I can’t wait to get started and I’m looking forward to getting to know my new teammates over the coming weeks.’
