The Brazilian full-back's name has almost become synonymous with trophies, such as has been Dani Alves' success. His stint at PSG thus far has been no different, having won 3 trophies already.

In the previous campaign, Alves played an impressive 2783 minutes for a 35 year-old, scoring 4 goals and assisting 7 across all competitions. The offensive-minded marauding full-back has also made 1.8 key passes per game, with a success rate of 87.5%.

Although the Brazilian is under contract until 2019 and is a close friend of Neymar, recent reports have suggested that PSG could be prepared to cash in on Alves, while giving upcoming talent Thomas Meunier a more prominent role.

A man who was a cornerstone of Pep Guardiola's historic team that twice won the Champions League and regarded as one of the best full-backs of his generation, Alves is an offensive right-back or wing-back who is known in particular for his pace, stamina, overlapping attacking runs, and technical skills, and a move away from PSG may be his last major transfer.

Supremely fit and confident, the Brazilian has talked up a potential move back to Barcelona. Although the Blaugrana have Nelson Semedo and Sergi Roberto for that right-back position, neither player has made a strong case to be handed that role permanently.

As Barcelona, under Valverde, look to challenge Real Madrid's European supremacy, they may well make a fairy-tale move for Alves to provide some much needed experience and consistency in that crucial right-back position.
