Manchester City are confident of signing Juventus' Brazilian full-back Dani Alves this week. Chelsea and Tottenham have both been linked with the 34-year-old.

A two-year deal is all agreed and the free transfer should be announced once all the red tape has been sorted.

Chelsea had also shown an interest but the Brazilian dropped a big hint last week Guardiola would be a main factor.

City’s boss hopes his former favourite will be one of three new full-backs on the plane when they depart for a tour of North America on July 17.

Alves is reportedly willing to earn £1.7million-a-year less to join Man City than what Chelsea offered him.

According to the Goal report, the West London club were ready to offer Alves, 34, around £6.1m-a-year.

But the Brazilian has taken City's offer of £4.3m instead to move to the Etihad.

Manchester City hope to wrap up deals for three full-backs before leaving on a pre-season tour of the United States next month.

Dani Alves is expected to be the first through the Etihad door after Juventus agreed to cancel his contract. The Brazilian was one of Pep Guardiola’s first signings at Barcelona in 2008, and is set to rejoin his old boss on a two-year deal at City.

At the age of 34, Alves is likely to be second-choice behind Kyle Walker if City can agree a fee with Tottenham for the 27-year-old England right-back. City have offered £40m for Walker but Spurs are holding out for an additional £10m.

They are also hopeful of striking a deal to sign Monaco’s £40m-rated left-back Benjamin Mendy before flying out to the US on July 17 to play Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham.
City retain an interest in Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand but the 27-year-old England defender is not seen as a priority at the moment because Aleksandar Kolarov – the only one of the club’s four senior full-backs from last season to stay – plays on the left side.
