Report: Paris Saint-Germain lead the race for Dani Alves

Barcelona's Brazilian full-back Dani Alves is nearing a move to reigning French champions Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.

The 31-year-old is out of contract at the Camp Nou in the summer and has been linked with a host of Premier League teams, including Manchester United and Arsenal.

However, it is Laurent Blanc's side that have emerged as favourites for his signature, claims the Daily Star.

"We are listening to offers. Many clubs are interested. Until now Barcelona have not spoken with us about a new deal," Alves's agent Deborah Santana is quoted as saying by the newspaper.

Alves joined Barcelona from Sevilla in 2008 and has made over 200 appearances for the Catalan club.
