Alves told Radio RMC that the big spending Parisians had been after him.

"It is true that PSG has called many people and built a beautiful project,” Alves said.

"This summer, they spoke to my representatives and consulted to see if they could do a transfer.

"But the possibility was very low because my price was very high and suddenly they turned to other players.

"As to whether I could play in Paris, you never know what the future holds, and I don't have to close doors. If one day, Barca do not want me anymore [then who knows]."
