Porto right-back Danilo admits he is proud to be linked with Real Madrid, as the European champions step up their interest in the Brazilian right-back. Although he insists he is fully focused on his current club, Danilo is 'ready' to sit down at the end of the season and discuss his future. 'I'm living a great moment with Porto,' he told Spanish newspaper AS. 'It makes me happy a great club like Madrid is interested in me. Danilo is currently on international duty with Brazil, and admits he is flattered by interest from Real Madrid . AS leads on Danilo's potential move to Madrid, while Mundo Deportivo focus on Gerard 'Piquembauer' Pique . 'When the season ends I'll sit down with Porto and we'll decide what is best for me and them.' The 23-year-old is currently on international duty with Brazil, alongside current Real Madrid defender Marcelo, who is likely to have an impact on Danilo's decision come the end of the season. AS report that it will cost Madrid €30million (£22m) to bring Danilo to the Bernabeu. Elsewhere in Spain, Mundo Deportivo's front page leads on Gerard Pique, and his comparison to Bayern Munich and Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer. Pique has made the centre-back position his own and is now Barcelona's leader at the heart of defence . Beckenbauer is widely regarded as one of the best defenders ever to have lived, and the Spanish paper have dubbed Pique 'Piquembauer' on their front page. 'The comeback', reads the headline, as Mundo claim Pique has taken on the challenge and is once again a world-class performer in his position. The 28-year-old has made 31 appearances in a Barcelona shirt so far this season, and has confirmed his inheritance of the leadership from Puyol at the Nou Camp, 'gaining weight' in the dressing room in the process.
