Dani Alves reveals Paris Saint-Germain fondness

Barcelona right-back Dani Alves has opened the door on a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian international has been widely linked with a move to the French club this summer as Barcelona prepare a clear-out of their first-team squad.

Alves had initially refused to comment on the speculation, but the defender has now revealed that he would be interested in a move to France.

"I've always said I'm not involved in long-term projects. I prefer short-term," he told Mundo Deportivo.

"Actually, what I want are challenges. I was born for it and if the challenge is somewhere else, I'll be happy. PSG? I think they're a great club. I love to play with the big clubs. That's what I dream of.

"What I want is to play for clubs that can offer challenges. And PSG is a great club. If I have to leave Barca, PSG is an alternative for me."

Alves is currently on international duty ahead of the World Cup.
