Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is convinced Neymar "intervened" in their failed move for Dani Alves.

Former Juventus fullback Alves was set to join City earlier this summer, only to commit to PSG at the last minute. Several weeks later, Neymar was joining his former Barcelona teammate in Paris.

Guardiola stated: "For me, he intervened in the transfer of Dani Alves. People are indignant with what has been invested, but he was the best winger of Barcelona for many years.

"If Neymar wins everything, he will not be expensive. There are players who are never expensive. What they generate, they give it to you. Cristiano Ronaldo was not expensive for Real Madrid."
