Manchester City are ready to pounce on FC Barcelona star, Dani Alves, by offering him a pre-contract ahead of a potential Summer move.
The Brazilian’s contract is set to expire in the next few months and as of yet, no plans of extension talks are in the pipeline with the Nou Camp club, leaving Alves on the brink of an exit.
In recent weeks, Alves’ agent has confirmed that he would be open to staying in Spain, but if he does leave, he will have plenty of options with several Premier League clubs interested.
City are joined by Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the race to sign the potential free-agent.
After refusing to hold contract talks, Alves’ agent has confirmed that he will start looking for a new club as soon as possible.
“They haven’t contacted us,” Santana told Cadena SER.
“I interpret that silence to mean they don’t want Dani Alves, so we will begin searching for a new club.
“We won’t wait for Barcelona, they have to take the plunge. Alves has spent seven years here and he has behaved like a professional at all times.
“Barcelona have not had a sporting director for a month and Alves is free to negotiate with any club.”
