Man City boss Pep Guardiola is keen to bring Juventus full-back Dani Alves to the North East this summer, according to The Sun.

Alves, 33, worked under Guardiola for four years at Barcelona and was reportedly close to making the move across Europe in January, only to see the move fall through due to a somewhat ill-timed injury.

The Brazilian – who turns 34 in May – wants to try his hand at the Premier League as he approaches the twilight of his career, however his wage demands could prove to be a crucial stumbling block in the potential switch.
