Manchester City have completed a £26.5 million ($34.4 million) deal with Real Madrid for Danilo.
Danilo's arrival means City have now spent almost £150 million this summer following the transfers of Kyle Walker, Bernardo Silva and the goalkeeper Ederson.
“I am very, very happy to be joining Manchester City,” Danilo said. “There has been strong interest from other clubs, but it has always been my ambition to play for Pep Guardiola. As soon as I heard of his interest, I knew immediately I wanted to be a City player.”
Guardiola was always likely to target the full-back positions after releasing Gaël Clichy, Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna at the end of last season. City have already signed Walker for £50m plus add-ons, while they are set to sign Monaco’s Benjamin Mendy for £52m, a world-record fee for a defender.
