Dani Alves ready to accept a pay cut to conclude the agreement with Arsenal

Dani Alves is open to a move to Arsenal and is willing to accept a pay cut to join the Premier League club, a report says.

The 36-year-old Brazilian is a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain last month and The sun calls for a reunion with Unai Emery "who is the most appealing" to Alves.

Alves has refused a new one – year contract with PSG, preferring a two – year contract, but he is apparently willing to accept a pay cut of £ 30,000 a week to £ 200,000 in order to secure a payday loan. arrange for a move to London.

This could well prove out of reach for Arsenal, even though it has drastically reduced his salary bill this summer with departures from Aaron Ramsey, Petr Cech, Danny Welbeck, Stephan Lichtsteiner and of David Ospina.

Alves, who played PSG under Emery in his first year, had already spoken of a move to England and he had almost joined City two years ago before heading to Paris.

Mundo Deportivo said this week that Tottenham, Arsenal and City were all fighting to sign Alves, while Pep Guardiola wanted to find his former player.

City's interest seems weak and it is unlikely that the player will move unless Danilo leaves this summer.

The report, however, suggests that Emery asked his board to adopt an offer for right-wing Alves, who would replace Lichtsteiner in Emery's team.
