AS says City made the approach when they were in
Barcelona to discuss the
transfer of Yaya Toure, and after Maicon delivered his devastating
snub to City yesterday, they may now pounce for Alves.
The Brazilian full-back, who will deputize for Maicon in this
summers World Cup, has a contract that runs until 2012, and as of
yet hasn’t been offered an extension by the Spanish champion's
board.
The 27-year-old has been instrumental down Barca's right flank
over the past two season, and has made 63 appearances since signing
from Sevilla for around £28million.
