Free agent Alves linked with Premier League move after PSG exit

The defender announced he will leave the French champions last night.

BRAZIL FULL-BACK Dani Alves has announced his Paris Saint-Germain departure after two years with the Ligue 1 champions.

The 36-year-old former Barcelona defender refused to commit to a new deal with PSG and will move on as a free agent.

Alves has been linked with a move to the Premier League and last month stated that he has โ€œa lot of optionsโ€.

The veteran revealed he will be leaving the French capital after scoring in Brazilโ€™s 5-0 Copa America thumping of Peru on Saturday.

Alves posted on Instagram: โ€œToday I close another cycle in my life, a cycle of victory, learning and experiences.

I would like to thank the PSG family for the opportunity to together build a page in the history of this club.

โ€œI would like to thank all the staff for their affection, respect and complicity from day one โ€ฆ you make this club a little more special.

โ€œIt was two years of resilience and continuous reinventing to fulfil my mission, but in life everything has a beginning, a middle and an end and now the time has come to put that final point here.

โ€œI apologise if at any point I was not up to the pitch, I apologise if at some point I made a mistake, I just tried to give my best.โ€

    Wouldnโ€™t be a bad move for united to sign him on a one year contract. It would save on the 60 million quoted for wan-bissaka plus it would allow another year to see how Dalot develops, as he has a lot of potential.
