Chinese clubs eye move for Dani Alves

Xinhua, January 24, 2017 Adjust font size:

At least three Chinese clubs have made bids to sign Brazil international full-back Dani Alves, according to media reports.

Shanghai SIPG, coached by former Porto and Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas, lead the battle to sign the 33-year-old Juventus player, having offered an annual salary of 10 million euros, Brazil's Uol Esporte reported on Monday.

Other clubs to express interest, according to the report, are Tianjin Quanjian and Hebei China Fortune.

Alves, who has been capped 100 times for Brazil, joined Juventus on a free transfer in July after eight seasons with Barcelona.

Among other high profile names to join Chinese clubs in recent times are Carlos Tevez (Shanghai Shenhua), Oscar (Shanghai SIPG), Renato Augusto (Beijing Guoan), Demba Ba (Shanghai Shenhua) and Ezequiel Lavezzi (Hebei China Fortune). Endit
