Daniel Alves has been one of the best full backs in the world over the past few years but now finds himself in a complex scenario at Barcelona.
The Brazilian international is currently on the final year of his contract and with only months remaining, Barcelona are showing no signs of extending his stay.
It is highly likely that the Samba star will be a free agent in the summer and according to reports, Manchester United are closing in to seal Alves signing.
Although Alves has featured in 24 games for the Catalan giants this season yet his agent has confirmed that they have been let frustrated by Barcelona and are now close to signing with a different club.
His agent Dinorah Santana claimed:
“We’re close to signing with another club, the talks are advanced,”
“Barca? Dani is always available, but he won’t wait much longer. They’re making Dani look like the baddie in this movie and we’re tired of this situation now.”
The 31 year old star may is still a quality full back and can give United a brilliant option to not only improve their defense but also attack as the Brazilian is renowned for scoring brilliant goals and providing quality balls from the wings.
Signing Alves on a bosman will be a huge transfer, one that Manchester United should seal soon and not miss out on.
