Manchester City are interested in signing Juventus fullback Dani Alves, according to Sky Sports.

The report suggests the two clubs have had initial talks over the transfer, but that an agreement is yet to have been made.

Alves has one year left remaining on his current contract after joining Juve from Barcelona last summer.

The Brazilian spent four seasons under current City manager Pep Guardiola at the Camp Nou between 2008-2012.

Guardiola is desperate to sign fullbacks this summer having released Gael Clichy, Bacary Sagna and Pablo Zabaleta at the end of last season.
