Manchester City have missed their chance to sign Dani Alves after the Brazilian full-back instead joined Paris St Germain.

The 34-year-old decided to leave Serie A champions Juventus after just one season in Turin and, despite being linked with a summer move to Premier League side City, he has opted to sign for Unai Emery's PSG.

A tweet from the capital club's official account announced the former Barcelona player's arrival on Wednesday.

Attack-minded right-back Alves, who won the Champions League three times with Barca, also claiming six LaLiga titles during his time at the Nou Camp, has agreed a deal running until June 2019 with last season's Ligue 1 runners-up.

He told psg.fr: "I am extremely happy to sign for PSG. In recent years I've witnessed the tremendous growth of this club, which has became a strong force in European football.

"It is very exciting to become part of this great project. At every club where I've been, I've always given my best to help the team go as far as possible. Believe me, I've come to Paris to win things.

"I recognise the ambitions of my new club and the expectations of our many supporters around the world. I'm sure we're going to share some great moments."
