The Brazil defender Dani Alves is set to join Paris Saint-Germain next season on a free transfer from Barcelona, according to reports in Spain.

The 31-year-old is out of contract in the summer and has not been offered a deal to extend his stay at the Camp Nou, having joined from Sevilla in 2008. Liverpool and Manchester United were both linked with a move for Alves, who has 73 Brazil caps, but Radio Marca reported on Wednesday that the right-back has signed a three-year deal with the French champions with an estimated salary of €9m.

Alves is said to have travelled to Paris last week to seal the deal after playing in Barça’s 6-1 win over Rayo Vallecano in the Copa del Rey.
