Danilo scored 19 goals and made 8 assists in 202 appearances for the Portuguese club Porto.

"It’s a new challenge for me, and to be part of Paris Saint-Germain fits my ambitions," Danilo said.

PSG also bolstered the forward line with the arrival of Moise Kean from the Premier League side Everton on loan.

The 20-year-old Italian forward joined the club until June 30, 2021, PSG confirmed on Sunday.

Everton signed Kean on August 2019 from Juventus on a five-year contract but he failed to meet expectations as he scored 4 goals in 37 matches last season.
