Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian has been lined up as Juventus

Dani Alves wants to sign for Manchester City on a two-year contract once he has come to an agreement with Juve over the early termination of the two-year deal he signed with them in the summer of 2016.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The Italy international has enjoyed a mixed spell so far at United, with Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo, Guillermo Varela, Ashley Young, Luke Shaw, Daley Blind and Tim Fosu-Mensah all being favoured at full-back at various stages during his two years with the club.Darmian spent much of his spell at Torino between 2011 and 2015 as a wing-back, and having excelled in the same position for the Italian national team he is seen as an ideal addition to a Juve side which has played primarily with a back three and wing-backs for the past six seasons.

The 27-year-old last week got married to long-time fiancée Francesca Cormanni in a ceremony close to his home town of Legnano, and he could now be set to return to his homeland for good thanks to Juventus’ interest. Darmian cost United around £14 million when Louis van Gaal snapped him up from Torino in 2015, and he previously played for AC Milan and Palermo. He also has 30 international caps to his name and was part of the Azzurri side which beat Liechtenstein 5-0 in a World Cup qualifier earlier in June.
