According to Goal (Italy), on July 7, Pep Guardiola met and had lunch with Dani Alves and agreed that the defender would join Man City.
Dani Alves made his debut with PSG
From the beginning, Alves was given the right to decide his future.
Compared to other targets worth tens of millions of dollars, Man City absolutely does not want to put pressure on Dani Alves.
Last week, Guardiola returned to Man City to start preparing for the new season.
Alves once described Guardiola as a genius and admitted to being greatly influenced by his former teacher when he became the number one right-back in the world while working together at Barca.
Alves is said to have mentioned his own wedding with model Joana Sanz last Saturday.
But then, everything fell apart.
In Paris, Alves will receive double the salary compared to what Man City offers.
Guardiola’s personnel plan for the right-back position was disrupted because of Dani Alves’ sudden change.
Dani Alves must also clearly understand that after he turns his back on Man City, this team’s plans will fall apart.
Spending more money on a right-back also means that Man City needs to tighten their belts for the center-back position.
Three days after regrouping to prepare for the new season, Pep Guardiola had no full-back, while the team’s transfer plan had a big hole in it.
