Despite enjoying a near-perfect debut season with Juventus – winning the Champions League would have been the cherry on top of the cake – Dani Alves is ready to leave Italy. The Brazilian is ready to cancel hi s contract on mutual consent in order to leave on a free transfer.
His eyes are on a Premier League move. Chelsea and Man City are both interested in the right-back, but the Citizens are currently leading. The player’s relationship with Pep Guardiola has proven instrumental, as the Selecao ace looks destined to replace the departed Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna.

The Brazilian has contributed to 35 goals since his debut in 2007/08. His tally of 10 goals and 25 assists are matched by no other full-back during that same period.
