Man United and Liverpool in battle for Barcelona star

Liverpool and Manchester United are among seven sides keen on signing Dani Alves in the summer.

The Brazil international is out of contract at Barcelona this summer and while they are keen on re-signing the full-back, Sport reports that SIX other clubs are also interested.

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly leading the race for the 31-year-old, who has been with Barca since 2008.

But both Manchester United and Liverpool have been heavily-linked with Alves and both are said to be keen on a bosman free transfer to bring the former Sevilla star to the Premier League.

Louis van Gaal, the United manager, will reportedly offer Alves a bumper-wage packet and signing bonus to persuade him to head to Old Trafford.
