United, Liverpool to tempt Alves?

Barcelona’s Dani Alves has emerged as a shock transfer target for Manchester United and Liverpool.

According to the Daily Express, both Louis Van Gaal and Brendan Rodgers are keen to bring the Brazilian right-back to the Premier League on a short-term deal for the 2015-16 season.

Alves’s contract expires at the end of this season and it appears for the moment that the Catalans do not plan on extending it, while his place in Luis Enrique’s starting line-up is coming under increasing pressure from Martin Montoya and new signing Douglas.

The 31-year-old’s future at the Camp Nou was uncertain over the summer but unless he agrees a contract extension soon then he will be free to talk to other clubs from next January.

Nonetheless, the English giants are sure to face stiff competition for his signature, with Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan also planning on making a move.
