Yes, Paris Saint-Germain Called My Agent Admits Dani Alves

Friday, 28th September, 2012

Barcelona full-back Dani Alves has confirmed that Paris Saint-Germain did want him and enquired about his availability this summer.

PSG signed flying Dutch full-back Gregory van der Wiel from Ajax late in the transfer window, after concluding signing Alves from Barcelona was mission impossible.

"PSG, last summer, many people called and they are putting together a wonderful project", Alves told French radio station RMC.

"In the summer the spoke with my agent to see if a transfer was possible", he added.

"The chance of a transfer however, was very small, because Barcelona wanted a lot of money for me and then PSG proposed to talk with other players."

Asked whether he could still play for PSG, Alves is clear that he will not rule anything out.

"You can never say never", said the Brazilian.

"I am not closing any doors.

"One day Barcelona won’t want me anymore."

It remains to be seen whether PSG could rekindle their interest in Alves but, at 29-year-old, the French giants may conclude that having snapped up 24-year-old Van der Wiel, they are sufficiently covered at right-back.
