Manager Pep Guardiola has ruled Manchester City out of the race to sign Dani Alves following speculation the free agent could reunite with his former Barcelona coach at the Etihad Stadium.
Guardiola spoke at a press conference ahead of Saturday's pre-season friendly against Yokohama F. Marinos, telling reporters: "We know, as all the important clubs know, about his situation. He is an incredible player and an extraordinary person, but we have two incredible full-backs, so it is what it is."
Alves, 36, started for Brazil—ahead of City defender Danilo—during their triumphant run to the 2019 Copa America title and is available following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.
