Danilo's best game for Madrid came at left-back

Now, if you ask any Madridista as to what they thought about the Brazilian, they would almost certainly come up with two words: good riddance. Danilo was a rockstar back in his Santos days and took his game to another level in Portugal.

However, after joining Real Madrid, he couldn’t progress any further – despite being given ample amount of chances – and with the World Cup ahead, decided to leave the Galacticos. Playing for Manchester City in Pep Guardiola’s revolution, Danilo might as well go on to become the player that many thought he would be.

At the end of the day, however, this was a great deal for all parties concerned as Real Madrid actually made a profit of €1.5 million while also had a readymade replacement in Achraf Hakimi.

Grading: 8.5/10
