Chinese club to make Dani Alves approach?

Barcelona defender Dani Alves will reportedly be the subject of a big-money move from China at the end of the season.

The Brazilian international was strongly linked with a move away from Barcelona last season, but ultimately signed a new short-term contract with his Spanish club, where he has been since 2008.

Aleix Vidal is now available to represent Barcelona, however, and the Spaniard is expected to provide firm competition at right-back for the Brazilian international.

According to Globo Esporte, an unnamed club in the Chinese Super League are preparing to offer the defender a lucrative contract, in addition to the stability of a three-year deal for a player that is approaching the age of 33.

Alves has won five La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues during his time at Camp Nou.
