Dani Alves: Neymar convinced me to sign for Paris Saint-Germain
The Braziian revealed why he signed for the French club
He's been set to sign for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City
Dani Alves has revealed Neymar played a part in his decision to sign for Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
It had been suggested Alves had been key in persuading Neymar to swap Barcelona for PSG, but he says it was the other way around.
Alves was due to sign for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City after leaving Juventus, but instead moved to France at the last minue.
"I talked to [Neymar] about the possibility," Alves said after PSG Ligue 1 win on Saturday.
"He recommended that I come here. He suggested that I come to the club. I said I wanted to leave Juventus and he [said he] was thinking of coming here.
"It's the contrary to what people think, I'm the grateful one because it was Neymar that convinced me. I didn't have anything to do with it. I just wanted him to be happy."
