The Ligue 1 giants are very keen on acquiring the services of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 international who is currently under contract at Russian Premier League outfit, Zenit Saint-Petersburg
Exiled in Russia since 2010, Portugal international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-Alves-c8108 is currently being courted by several European sides including French Ligue 1 big spenders, Paris Saint-Germain.
Considered by many as one of the best central defenders in Europe, the Portuguese has surprised everyone since joining the Russian club since 2010. However, with just a year left on his contract, the Lusitano could return to Western Europe in a bid to further
raise his profile.
According to Russian daily Sport Life, the Portuguese international is getting a lot of attention from the likes of Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Paris Saint-Germain. The French giants in particular, are very keen on signing the physically
dominating Alves as there is a high possibility that the summer transfer window will witness exodus of a few players from Parc des Princes.
The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 will have enough space in the dressing room to sign new players as he aims to take the club forward.
Bought for 22 million euros, Zenit might not be getting a profit for the possible sale as the player has just a year left on his current deal. Reports claim that Zenit’s cash-laden owners want something above 8 million euros for the defender. However, the
amount could be lowered further considering the player’s age (31) and his current contractual dilemma.
However, it should also be noted that Alves is currently negotiating the possibility of a contract extension which means that he might even prolong his stay in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 further. However, a contract extension might also be given as the club looks to increase
its asking price for a player who despite his age, still has a lot to offer.
And, even if the Russians are open to sell their star defender, PSG will be facing a lot of competition in the race for Alves’ signature. With the likes of Juventus and At Madrid also hot on his heels, a tug of war should be expected this summer.
