Chelsea are eager to bring a couple more wing-backs into the squad this summer to give them sufficient depth heading into next season.
With a deal for Alex Sandro from Juventus stalling, Chelsea have made contact with Real Madrid for Danilo, according to Marca as cited by Sky Sports.
The Brazilian defender has been in and out of the Real starting eleven following a £26.8m move from Porto two years ago and currently finds himself as Dani Carvajal’s backup at the Bernabeu.
Able to play either fullback position, the 25-year-old made just 25 appearances last season and is also a target for Juventus after they allowed Dani Alves to leave the club, with the former Barcelona man expected to join Manchester City.
Chelsea don’t have a natural right-back in the first-team squad, but Victor Moses has impressed in the right wing-back role over the last 12 months, but the addition of Danilo would give the Blues adequate depth and competition.
