Alves targets Premier League move

Currently under contract with PSG, the 35-year-old has experienced life with some of Europe's top clubs - namely Barcelona and Juventus, though admits he still would like to play in the Premier League. 

The right-back has previously turned down moves to Manchester City and Chelsea, though now seems determined and insists he will make it to the Premier League "one way or the other".

Speaking to 'The Telegraph', Alves remarked: "The idea that I might finish my career without going to the Premier League, it is not possible.

"For sure, this is the most amazing football in the world. First, because of the respect for the players from the fans, and then because of the passion on the pitch.

"If I can play, that would be perfect, but I will make it there one way or the other."

He also spoke of PSG's fantastic start to the season, where they have won all 13 Ligue 1 matches. Yet, 'Les Parisiens' have struggled in the Champions League against Liverpool and Napoli. 

"Not many teams have better players than PSG, but they need to understand the competition they are playing in.

"They are very comfortable in the French league, but they need to raise themselves for games against the biggest clubs.

"I don't think PSG really understood what they were confronting when they faced Liverpool. It was like they didn't realise who they were playing.

"They're on their way to understanding it. If not, they will learn the cost."
