Man City were also keen on signing former Barcelona player Dani Alves this summer.

After a successful spell at Juventus, the Brazilian full-back was heavily linked with a move to Man City.

But the Brazilian full-back has now taken a major U-turn turned down a chance of a reunion with his former boss Guardiola to join the Ligue 1 giants PSG on Wednesday aftertoon.

Alves will now take home a staggering £230,000-a-week wage-packet at PSG – which is more than double what Man City were willing to pay the Brazilian full-back.

But Alves rubbished such claims and revealed that his decision was based on where he felt he could be more successful and add more silverware to his already illustrious CV.

Alves said: “There’s a very interesting project in Paris.”

“I have friends here, I’m a man who loves challenges.”

“If Pep Guardiola and Manchester City feel hurt, I am sorry. But I have come here to be a champion.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of winning the Champions League three times and I want to bring my experience here.”

“The President had a great power of persuasion. I like to make history. We can write it together here.”

“The work that the club has been doing over the past several years is very encouraging. It’s an ambitious team.”
