PSG's Dani Alves explains decision to snub Man City, regrets Juventus move

Dani Alves has told FourFourTwo that he made a mistake in joining Juventus in the summer of 2016, and revealed why he snubbed a move to Manchester City before the start of this season.

Alves, 34, moved to Juve from Barcelona but found life difficult in Turin. He then seemed certain to be reunited with former Barca boss Pep Guardiola at City, but did an 11th-hour U-turn and signed for Paris Saint-Germain instead.

"I had already taken the decision to join Juventus without looking around first and it kind of harmed some people close to me," Alves said.
