Real Madrid Transfer News: Danilo Offer from Juventus Reportedly Rejected

Real Madrid have reportedly turned down a €15 million bid plus add-ons for Danilo from Juventus because it is around half of the full-back's valuation.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t AS), Los Blancos paid €31.5 million for the Brazilian two years ago and are hoping to recoup as much of that as possible by receiving a figure close to the €30 million mark.

The transfer fee is seemingly all that is left to agree on, as Tuttosport reported the Bianconeri have agreed personal terms with the player (h/t AS).

BeIN Sports previously indicated the 25-year-old was determined to stay put at the Santiago Bernabeu:

Danilo has struggled to hold down a starting role in the Spanish capital since arriving and is behind Dani Carvajal in the pecking order.

He has not been particularly convincing, either, having failed to replicate the form he showed at FC Porto that earned him his move to the Spanish capital. 

That said, he did produce a fairly strong end to the season, with manager Zinedine Zidane rotating his side during the latter half of the campaign.

The Brazilian made just 17 appearances in La Liga last year, but he won 36 tackles and 28 headed duels, and he made 37 interceptions and 42 clearances, according to Squawka.

Danilo also created 18 chances, a fair return for a full-back, demonstrating his ability to contribute going forward.

Juventus are in the market for a right-back earlier than expected following Dani Alves' departure halfway through his two-year deal at the club. It seems they're prepared to sign Danilo despite the limitations it would impose on the rest of their summer business, per football writer David Amoyal:

The Real Madrid man isn't at the same level as his compatriot, though Alves wasn't always at his best during his time in Turin—particularly in the first half of the campaign—before he sprang to life in the UEFA Champions League.

Juventus will hope the move can kickstart Danilo's career, provided they can reach an agreement over a fee with Los Blancos.
