Barca enquire after Real star

According to a report in 'Libertad Digital', Barcelona have set their sights on Danilo to solve their right-back crisis.

The club have been trying to lure Hector Bellerin back to Catalonia but with that looking ever more unlikely the Catalan giants have been forced to look elsewhere, a search that has brought them to Madrid.

Danilo did not get as much game time as he would have liked last season at the Bernabeu and it is believed he would be intereted in crossing the 'clásico' divide.

The Brazilian can count on the approval of his international team-mate Neymar, who tried to convince Danile to join Barcelona two seasons ago, before he eventually settled on a move to Real.

It would no doubt be a complicated deal, Real paid €30m to sign the defender, so it would seem that Barca would have to come up with a better offer than that in order to convince Real to sell to their rivals.

Cancelo, Semedo, Odriozola and Soares are the other players to have been linked with a switch to the Nou Camp in recent months, though their main target has been Bellerin.
