Paris Saint-Germain star Dani Alves insists Alexis Sanchez could yet join him in the French capital despite mounting speculation that the Arsenal forward is set to sign for Manchester City.

The former Barcelona forward is out of contract in the summer and has no intention of discussing a new deal with Arsene Wenger’s side.

Premier League rivals City are said to be increasingly confident of signing the 28-year-old and will reportedly test Arsenal’s resolve in January with a £20million bid.

PSG remain interested, however, and with Sanchez able to speak with foreign clubs come January, Alves isn’t ready to admit defeat yet.

‘It’s a possibility. He’s courted by many teams,’ he said.

‘It would be nice if he joined us. I will always appreciate him and I will always wish him the best wherever he goes.’

Alves joined PSG from Juventus in the summer along with compatriot Neymar and reports earlier this month claimed the Ligue 1 side were hopeful the Brazilian, both former teammates of Sanchez’s, would be able to persuade him to sign.

It is also claimed that Sanchez has been offered a stunning £10million bonus if he signs a pre-contract agreement with the Parisians.
