Real Madrid are confident of signing Porto fullback Danilo.
AS says Danilo's agents are holding up the deal due to their commission demands.
The fee between the two clubs has already been agreed - €30 million plus €5 million in bonuses.
The commissions of the agents for brokering the transfer are, however, yet to be settled.
There are three people from the Madrid end who intervened in the negotiations. Miguel Pardeza, a former sporting director at Madrid (he was fired in the summer), Paco de Gracia (also involved with the Madrid club but who left) and Óscar Ribot, a former head of the Madrid press and who also took part in the signings of players such as Casemiro and Lucas Silva.
