Manchester City has signed defender Danilo from Spanish champions Real Madrid on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee, the Premier League club said on Sunday.

The 26-year-old joined Madrid in 2015 and played 24 matches for Zinedine Zidane’s side last season as they won the Spanish league title, sealed their second consecutive Champions League trophy and won the Club World Cup.

British media reports claimed the Brazilian joined City for a fee of around 26 million pounds ($33.78 million), making him manager Guardiola’s second major defensive signing in the current window following Kyle Walker’s arrival earlier this month.

Brazilian international and New Manchester City signing Danilo said “Football is very dynamic and it requires quality players in every position, so I think a player who can play in different positions at a good level has an advantage and becomes very important for the team as well.

“You have to learn how to win and I love winning. Undoubtedly it was very important for me being on the pitch and always winning, so I would like to give the fans that, but also hard work, effort and dedication too.”

“I had a few words with Fernandinho and I hope they help me settle down as quickly as possible. To the Club, to the city and to Pep’s managerial style, and all that helps the Club win trophies.”He said

Danilo, who previously won two league titles in four years at Portuguese club FC Porto, will join his new team mates in their pre-season U.S. tour and could face his former club when City play Madrid on Wednesday.
