Featuring just nine times in the league under Pep Guardiola this season, Danilo is far from a first-team regular at Manchester City, and if the club can get some decent money for him in the summer, they should probably consider it.

With Kyle Walker the guaranteed starter down the right, the Brazilian has had to make do with a lot of time on the bench when he could be competing for a starting spot elsewhere, like Inter.

The story emerged over Easter weekend, and it’s continued its merry way over the past few days, with TuttoMercatoWeb providing an update on Wednesday.

As things stand, Inter appear to be in the lead, with €18m + bonuses the maximum they are prepared to offer for the 27-year-old.

The website explain Juventus also like what Danilo has to offer, although his non-EU status would be a problem for them, meaning that avenue is blocked for the time being.

The main competition from Inter, however, could come from Spain, as Valencia, currently fifth in La Liga, two points behind fourth placed Getafe, have enquired about him.

Marcelino’s side would be prepared to go up to €24m for the Manchester City defender, but his preference would be a move to Italy, even with a reduced salary.

Reportedly earning €4.5m/year at the Etihad, he would still be open to move to Inter for €3.5-4m/year, where the contract would be for four years, keeping him there until 2023.

A lot to consider there, both for Manchester City and Danilo, and a meeting is expected to take place ‘between all parties’ tomorrow, when another update is bound to appear.
