Brazil's legendary full-back Cafu has termed Dani Alves as one of the greatest right backs in football at the moment. One of the most integral figures for Juventus during their UEFA Champions League campaign last season, Alves could be looking to ending his career as a Premier League player.
And Manchester United remains a possible destination for the 34-year-old Brazilian, as well as Chelsea FC, reports Brazilian publication UOL Esporte.
Playing in the top three European football leagues of the world - Alves got the major launch pad in his club career after moving to FC Barcelona in 2008 (La Liga), he moved to Juventus in 2016 (Serie A), and now the big physical English Premier League could be awaiting him.
However, in all probability, the last part could take place IF ONLY Juventus doesn't award Alves a fresh contract extension.
His current contract with the Turin giants runs until June 30, 2018.
The ball firmly remains on Juventus' court if they would want to offload the versatile Dani Alves on a price or allow him to leave for free in the summer next year.
Dani Alves vs Antonio Valencia at Manchester United now?
On the account that Jose Mourinho bids for Alves and shockingly, gets to sign him as well, tough times are in for Antonio Valencia, particularly in the right back position.
The lightning-speed Ecuadorian full back-cum-winger signed a fresh contract extension with Manchester United, that sees him stay at Old Trafford until at least June 2019 -- which does mean Valencia is set for completing his ten-year tenure at the club.
