Things look like they could not get much better for Ligue 1 side Paris Saint Germain at the minute according to Marca and after dumping Chelsea out of the Champions League, it seems they are now set to land Dani Alves – leaving Manchester United fans in the Football Transfer Tavern high and dry.
Louis van Gaal had been keen on the experienced right back who is set to end his time with Barcelona come the summer and as one of our punters quips, would have made a pretty good signing for most clubs.
Despite our regulars looking forward to seeing Alves in the top flight of English football, it seems life in Paris beckons for the defender and a £100,000 per week contract to sweeten the deal cannot have been a detractor either, with Radio Marca announcing the contract live on air.
We think that United need a younger right back and considering the money Alves would cost in terms of his wages, despite being available on a free, he is still pretty poor value for money.
