Manchester City boss Guardiola not ruling out move for Alves

Pep Guardiola has not ruled out bringing full-back Dani Alves to Manchester City. The 36-year-old is available on a free transfer after his contract at PSG expired. Guardiola said: “All the important clubs in the world know his situation and the incredible player he is. He is an extraordinary person, but we have two incredible full-backs. So, that is what it is.” Asked if many more new faces might arrive, he said: “No, not many. I like the faces that we have. Maybe, but the transfer market is so difficult and the team is really good enough. So, maybe zero, maybe one, maybe one-and-a-half. We’ll see.” City are looking for central defenders following the departure of Vincent Kompany but, despite being linked with Leicester’s Harry Maguire, Guardiola insists there is no urgency.
