Manchester City remain interested in Juventus defender Dani Alves.

Corriere Dello Sport reports that City 'continue to court' the Brazilian full-back who only joined the Bianconeri last summer.

Alves, 33, played under City boss Pep Guardiola at Barcelona, enjoying a fruitful relationship, and it is understood that the Spaniard is keen to reunite with the Brazilian.

City were keen on Alves in January but a leg injury prompted them to drop their interest.

Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna are expected to leave the Etihad Stadium at season's end, meaning there is a vacancy for Alves to fill.

Stephan Lichtsteiner has renewed with Juve which suggests Alves will play a bit-part role next season, as he has done under Max Allegri this term with only 19 appearances in all competitions.

The report also indicates that Chinese clubs 'are ready to build bridges of gold' for the six-time La Liga champion and three-time Champions League winner.
