FERGIE WANTS £25M ALVES
DANI ALVES is a £25million target for Alex Ferguson.
Manchester United spies were in Spain earlier this month to see the Sevilla star play a blinder in the 2-0 win over Villarreal.
Now boss Fergie hopes to persuade the buccaneering right-back to snub rivals Chelsea and Barcelona in favour of Old Trafford.
Alves, 24, was denied a move to Stamford Bridge last summer but is adamant he will leave Sevilla this summer.
United in for Brazil duo
MANCHESTER UNITED will bid £30million for Seville stars Luis Fabiano and Dani Alves this week.
Boss Alex Ferguson is wasting no time in strengthening his squad for next season and expects to strike a deal for the Brazilians.
SunSport can reveal United chief scout Martin Ferguson has watched the pair 10 TIMES in the last three months.
Alves, 25, is seen as the long-term replacement at right-back for Gary Neville while Fabiano, 27, will add presence and goals to the attack.
The hitman, who has netted 33 times in 38 games this season, is only part-owned by the club — 65 per cent of his registration is owned by a private investment group similar to the Carlos Tevez situation last season.
Both players are regular starters for Brazil and Alves is regarded as the best attacking right-back in the world.
Fergie’s first choice was Porto’s Jose Bosingwa but he got beaten to the Portugal player’s signature by Chelsea on Monday.
Alves was a Blues target last summer but they refused to pay his £24m tag.
