Manchester City are reportedly closing in on a move for Dani Alves and Juventus will not stand in the way of the defender's exit.

Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed Dani Alves is set to leave the club amid reports Manchester City are poised to sign the defender.

City are reportedly close to giving Alves a two-year contract and Juve have revealed they will not stand in the 34-year-old's way as he aims to leave Turin with a year still left on his deal.

"It is not a falling out, motivation is crucial to all players," Marotta told reporters.

"Dani Alves has realised that he wants to try a different experience, we will consensually rescind the contract and we wish him all the best. 

"Sure there is bitterness for what he has said, but I confirm that there has been no fall out."
