United line up £25 million Brazilian

Manchestr United are preparing a £25 million bid for Sevilla right-back Dani Alves. (News of the World)

The Brazilian international has been linked with numerous amounts of moves to the Premier League in recent months and years. United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to bring Alves to Old Trafford to fill in for the ageing Gary Neville.

Alves, 24, has been at Sevilla for over six years now and he is widely regarded as one of the La Liga's best defender's. He is a very attack minded defender and I, as well as many other people, feel he would be a terrific acquisition for any Premier League side.

Alves has over a dozen caps for Brazil and had made just under 200 appearances for Sevilla. He has won the UEFA Cup twice at Sevilla but many experts feel that this will be his final season at the Spanish giants.
