His best years are ahead of him, he's technically proficient and has the physical attributes we desire."City signed Danilo from Real Madrid for £26.5m in 2017, and he made 22 league starts in 60 appearances for the Blues across all competitions.The Brazilian, who has agreed a five-year contract at Juve, has been involved in back-to-back Premier League title wins under manager Pep Guardiola but has rarely been viewed as a first choice.-- Join the Joy Sports team on Thursday for Joy Transfer Countdown Show
