Barcelona: possible Dani Alves replacement ‘desperate’ to work with José Mourinho
According to L’Equipe, PSG defender Aurier has been identified by Barcelona executives as the perfect replacement for Dani Alves, so much so the La Liga giants have already made contact to sign the Ivorian defender at the end of the season.
Aurier’s PSG contract runs until 2019 but the player is reported to be not willing to sign a contract extension with his club.
Trouble is, Barcelona will be facing competition from Manchester United in the summer as the Red Devils are also interested in signing the 24-year-old. In addition to that, Aurier is also open to move to the Old Trafford as, still according to L’Equipe, he is desperate to work with José Mourinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic who, however, may not be offered a contract extension at the Old Trafford after his knee injury.
