Danilo comments on Real Madrid link

Porto defender Danilo admits that he is honoured to be linked with a move to Real Madrid, but has vowed to focus on his current club for the remainder of the season.

Porto defender Danilo has claimed that "it is gratifying to be linked" with Real Madrid.

The Brazilian, who is currently on international duty, is widely regarded as one of the best full-backs in European football, with his form leading to strong speculation of a move to Real Madrid.

The right-back has said that he is honoured to be linked with the Bernabeu, but has vowed to focus on his current club until the end of the season.

"I'm having a great season playing with Porto. It's natural that this may generate speculation from bigger clubs, but at present I'm focusing on just the Brazilian national team and playing in the Portuguese league, though it is gratifying to be linked with the likes of Madrid," Danilo, who has also denied speaking to Real Madrid defender Marcelo about a move to Spain, told reporters.

"It's not something I've discussed with Marcelo. When the season finishes, then it will be time to review my future."

The 23-year-old has also been linked with a move to Manchester United.
