The Brazilian international’s next decision could have a big impact on Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Chelsea.
According to a report from Globoesporte.com, Dani Alves has offers from three English clubs on the table, with Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester City all eagerly awaiting the Brazilian’s decision.
The report claims it is almost certain that he will be plying his trade in the Premier League next season, with an announcement expected this week.
City are said to be the favourites given the presence of Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium, with the two men knowing each other well from their time together at Barcelona.
However, that has not stopped Tottenham and Chelsea making bids of their own, and with all three clubs gearing up for Champions League football next season any of them would be an enticing prospect for the 100-capped Brazilian international.
Despite being 34, Alves is still regarded as one of the best right-backs in world football and he is expected to go down a storm in the English top flight.
According to a recent report in the Telegraph, City still want Tottenham’s Kyle Walker even if they complete a deal for free agent Alves, and that would be a double blow for Spurs.
A better alternative would be if the former Juventus player opts for a spell at Tottenham, allowing the North London club to cash in on Walker knowing they have a fine alternative.
Such a move would also surely see City forced to up their bid for Walker, giving Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino sufficient funds to strengthen elsewhere.
Whatever happens, it seems Alves is just days away from putting his suitors out of their misery.
