Danilo

Danilo is one of the most versatile defenders of his generation, capable of playing right-back, left-back, or central defence, a flexibility that has made him invaluable to both Juventus and Brazil. He captained the Seleção during the 2022 World Cup cycle and led Juventus before moving to Flamengo. His time at Real Madrid and Manchester City gave him Champions League and Premier League experience, though he was rarely a guaranteed starter at either club. At 34, he is in the final phase of his international career, but his reading of the game and leadership in the dressing room remain assets Ancelotti will value.
