Paris Saint-Germain defender Dani Alves has told ESPN FC he would like to play in the Premier League before retirement.

Alves, 36, has won 40 senior honours in his career after PSG won both Ligue 1 and the Trophee des Champions this season.

He said he wanted to play in England but there are still talks to continue for another season with PSG.

"I have said I would like it," he said. "It is not a dream because I make my dreams come true through effort.

"It is a very exciting league with a lot of respect. What I like is the respect for professional players -- if he gives his all, he is respected.

"Here in the rest of Europe, if you do not win matches then you get no respect. I do not have that problem -- I am a winner."

Alves is in talks with PSG and sources told ESPN FC a one-year contract extension with an option for 12 more months was on the table.

"The only real attachment I had in life was with my mother when I had an umbilical cord -- even that was cut off," Alves said. "I am a free man and one who thinks that one plus one equals one, not two.

"If we are on the same page, we will stay together. If not, then it will not happen. For now we are not.
