With rumours circulating that Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Dani Alves from Barcelona in January, the club’s Sporting Director has come out to deny the speculations, Daily Mail reports.
The 31-year-old defender was said to be on his way out of the Camp Nou ahead of the new campaign, but although a host of top clubs were after his signature, he remained in the La Liga.
However, it was believed that the Brazilian agreed a pre-contract with United over a possibly switch, but Barca’s Sporting Director Andoni Zubizarreta denied the claims.
“We’re talking about the contract with him,’ Zubizarreta told AS.
“We’ll see what the road is we’ll take. It’s also influenced by the decision of FIFA [the transfer ban].
“The best thing is that we come to see an incisive Dani, that’s important.”
He joined the Catalan side back in 2008 from Sevilla for a fee of £25million, but is now said to be worth much less, also attracting interest from Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City amongst others during the transfer window.
