Guardiola not ruling out Man City move for Alves

Pep Guardiola has not ruled out bringing veteran full-back Dani Alves to Manchester City.

The 36-year-old Brazilian, who won two Champions League titles under Guardiola at Barcelona, is available on a free transfer after his contract at Paris St Germain expired.

City currently have two experienced right-backs in first-choice Kyle Walker and Danilo and have no immediate vacancy, but there has been speculation over the future of the latter.

Were Danilo to move on this summer, City could be tempted to bring in Alves as short-term back-up for Walker.

Alves was close to joining City after leaving Juventus two years ago but opted for PSG.

Guardiola said: "All the important clubs in the world know his situation and the incredible player he is. He is an extraordinary person, but we have two incredible full-backs. So, that is what it is."
