PSG fullback Alves: Rejecting Man City nothing personal with Pep

PSG fullback Dani Alves says turning down Manchester City was nothing personal against Pep Guardiola.

Alves chose PSG ahead of City when leaving Juventus two years ago.

"I thought about my personal well-being, that of my family. That's why I did not go to City," he explained.

"Pep (Guardiola) knows how much I appreciate him and that I would be ready to work with him again. However, at that time, I did not really think of a new association with him. I thought about what I needed to be happy and the new challenges I had in front of me.

"All my problems with Guardiola were solved and Paris was an exciting proposition. Our relationship is very position."
