Experienced Brazilian Dani Alves had already preliminarily agreed to a two-year contract with Manchester City and was calmly on vacation until finally secretly negotiated a contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
This week the defender will be officially presented to the fans of the Ligue 1 team, and the Goal portal sought reasons why the player decided to turn his back on the "Cityzens" and idolized coach Josep Guardiola.
The website speculated that PSG could have offered the veteran more money than Man City, surpassing the promised 5 million euros per season.
Other reasons - the last conversation with J. Guardiola, which took place last week, when the player's role in the team was possibly discussed, or the desire of the athlete's newlywed wife to live in Paris.
Whatever influenced D. Alves's decision, this became a real shock for the "Cityzens", and this summer the English team will have to change their strategy of buying newcomers, as additional funds are needed, which would have been saved by signing the free agent from Brazil.
