Chelsea have ended their season in the Premier League this term right on the top of the table, clinching the title for the sixth time in their history. As a result, they are eligible to play in the Champions League for the next season, which will come as an added responsibility to their new coach Antonio Conte, who only had to deal with the challenges from domestic teams this season.
The Italian mastermind is already up to the task to find the right players for his team, who are experienced customers and have a taste of Champions League football throughout their career. One such player who has played for some of the biggest clubs in the history of the tournament is Dani Alves, and the wily tactician Conte is looking to bring in the veteran Brazilian into his squad to strengthen his squad for the next season.
Reportedly, the Brazilian right-back is facing an uncertain future at the Juventus Stadium after the season has ended for the Italian Champions in the domestic circuit and they lost their final match to Real Madrid in this season’s Champions League.
As per sources, the Bianconeri coach Maxi Allegri is looking to offload the full back in the summer to bring in some young player in his place, and thus he has been offered to the English Champions for the next season.
Both Manchester City and Spurs are in dire need of a top class right back, as they also will have to face some of the biggest European clubs in the Champions League, and are looking to rope in the brilliant Brazilian to boost their defensive area in the next season. However, in that case, Alves might feel much more inclined to join the Citizens, having shared a great relationship with their coach Pep Guardiola during his playing days at Barcelona.
The Brazilian ace is known for his dazzling runs down the right-hand side and has a knack of scoring goals to hand an advantage to his team. He is also known for his great composure in the defence for his team with superbly effective tackles and blocks to keep the opponent strikers at bay.
The Blues coach can use Alves’ pace and runs down the wing to bolster his options for a wing back who will able to completely fit into his new 3-4-3 formation that he has implemented of late to make his team the Champions of the Premier League this season.
