Dani Alves has confirmed spells in the Premier League and MLS appeal to him, with the Brazilian still mulling over his options at Paris Saint-Germain, Goal reports.
“The only real attachment I had in life was the one I had with my mom when I had an umbilical cord, and even that one was cut off. I'm a free man and I'm among those who think that one plus one equals one instead of two, since we are working together. If we remain on the same page, we will stay together. If that's not the case, then it won't happen.” Alves added, “As of now, we are not.”
“They know I want to go in a direction and that I want to help this club to change its history. But I don't know if that's what they want. I can contribute a lot inside PSG and if we can't agree on it, then we will see.” “It's not a dream, because I make my dreams come true with effort,” he said of the Premier League.
“I've said I would like it. It is a very exciting league; they feel a lot of respect and what I like is the respect they have for the professional player. If he gives his all, they respect him. And here, in the rest of Europe, it looks like that if you don't win matches then you don't get any respect. I don't have that problem, I'm a winner.”
Alves said, “Frankly, most of the things they do in the U.S. are enticing. Saying otherwise would be a lie. Because of the organisation they have, their structure, the fact they always do things in a big way and they strive for excellence, that is something very appealing for everyone.
If it wasn't a nice league, no one would even think of going there. When they talk about it, they know how important it is and the growth it has experienced. Obviously, you always keep an eye on it, no doubt.”
But Alves declared he would “bet the Eiffel Tower” that Neymar remains at Paris Saint-Germain, with there no substance to talk of potential returns to Spain at either Real Madrid or Barcelona.
“A dinner is not enough. Should I bet the Eiffel Tower? I believe that he will stay with PSG.”
Alves added, “Madrid calls a lot of people.
