Manchester United have submitted a contract offer to Barcelona defender Dani Alves after he rejected a new deal with the Catalan club.

Alves’ agent, Dinorah Santana, said on Thursday that ‘negotiations are over’ with Barcelona after his client did not sign their latest three-year contract offer.

The Brazilian right-back met with the club’s representatives before Wednesday’s La Liga clash with Almeria to discuss his future. Though Alves had requested a three-year deal, the conditions were such that he would only be able to see out the whole three years if he participated in over 60 percent of the club’s matches next season.

With this lack of stability surrounding Barcelona’s offer, Alves has made it clear that he has no intention of being at the Catalan club next season.

However, Alves won’t have to worry about financial security or playing time as several of Europe’s top clubs are monitoring the player’s situation, with United now joining Paris Saint Germain in making an offer.
