The free agent has been urged to join Liverpool by his fellow countryman.

Brazilian ace Dani Alves is available on a free transfer transfer this summer, and his fellow countryman Kleberson recommended him to Liveprool, suggesting that he would be the ideal summer signing for Jurgen Klopp, as quoted by the Express.

The 36-year-old has enjoyed a stellar career, with three Champions League medals and nine league titles in three different countries to his name thus far, and he is still regarded as one of the world’s right-backs.

Alves is now a free agent, having refused a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain, but quite where he will be playing his football next season remains unclear.

And Kleberson, who played in the Premier League with Manchester United, suggested that the experienced right-back is ideally suited to Klopp’s setup at Liverpool, as quoted by the Express:

“I wanted to get Dani Alves to join me in the MLS! He’s a phenomenal player with amazing quality. I feel maybe could fit in well at Liverpool and Klopp would like him as a style of player. He’s very technical, fast and has an incredible temperament in the big games. He’s a winner.”

Whether the Reds will be interested in Alves remains to be seen. Klopp might need another right-back to provide competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold, however, with Nathaniel Clyne being heavily linked with an exit from Anfield.

And Liveprool could do a lot worse than the Brazilian legend.
