Chelsea hold talks with Brazil international’s representatives about summer move – report
Chelsea have held talks with Dani Alves' representatives about a summer move to Stamford Bridge, according to reports
Chelsea have held talks with Dani Alves’ representatives about a potential move to the Premier League champions this summer, according to reports.
The Daily Mail is reporting that the Brazil defender is working on terminating his current contract with Serie A champions Juventus.
Chelsea are thought to be one of the clubs interested in signing the 34-year-old defender to bolster their wing-back options ahead of the 2017-18 season.
The same article states that Manchester City have also been in discussions with Alves’ representatives about a potential switch to the Etihad Stadium.
Alves could be tempted to move to Manchester City ahead of Chelsea given his past working relationship with Pep Guardiola at La Liga giants Barcelona.
However, Chelsea are able to offer Alves the chance to sample life in the English capital, which could prove a big factor when it comes to Alves making a decision on his future.
The Blues won the Premier League title in their first season under Antonio Conte after the Italian took over the reins at Stamford Bridge in 2016.
Chelsea will return to the Champions League group-stage next season after a one-season absence.
