Pep Guardiola wants his Manchester City full-backs to play in the way Dani Alves did for him when they were together at Barcelona -- and the easiest way to do that is to buy the Brazilian himself.
Sources have told ESPN FC that City are interested in signing the Juventus right-back, who could be available for as little as £5 million.
City are in the hunt for new full-backs after Guardiola allowed Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy to leave at the end of their contracts in June along with winger Jesus Navas, who ended the season at right-back.
