Dani Alves looks likely to be the latest part of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City summer transfer splurge and the first of a major overhaul of his defence. Portuguese playmaker Bernardo Silva was the first arrival, adding more creativity, and was quickly followed by Ederson Moraes to sort out City's goalkeeper problems.
But while there are likely to be more signings to add options elsewhere in his team, Guardiola has now turned his attention to the defence, an area many saw as City's biggest problem last season as they failed to compete for silverware.
The City boss is short of full-backs after allowing veterans Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy to leave on a free when their contracts expired at the end of the season.
