Tottenham Hotspur are said to have offered Dani Alves a two-year contract to join from Juventus.
Dani Alves’ comments to the Guardian back in 2016 could suggest that a move to Tottenham Hotspur would appeal to the Juventus full-back.
According to a report on Yahoo, Alves has attracted the attention of Spurs, ahead of the summer transfer window.
Tottenham are already in discussions with Juventus for the Brazilian, who Mauricio Pochettino reportedly sees as his first choice right-back next season.
Tottenham are prepared to offer Alves a two-year deal, as they seek to add the 34-year-old to their squad.
And by moving to the North London club Alves would achieve his career-long wish of being able to play in England.
“It’s special: there’s a corner and it’s like it’s a goal,” Alves said.
“I’ve always said that playing in England is something I’ve got pending. I don’t know when but I’d like to play there, to experience in person what I see from the sofa. The way the people live football. Wow, it’s incredible. Full stadiums, living every moment.”
If Alves was to sign for Spurs it would be a major sign of intent by Pochettino’s side, ahead of the new campaign.
Alves remains one of the finest full-backs in world football, despite his advancing years, and can boast vast amounts of experience – having won league titles in Italy and Spain.
If Alves is brought to Spurs, he will surely be Kyle Walker’s replacement in Pochettino’s team.
