Dani Alves is gaining something of a reputation when it comes to making surprise moves.

A year ago, a sudden falling out with Barcelona saw him join Juventus on a two-year deal.

The Old Lady have allowed him to leave halfway into that contract, and while he looked all set to reunite with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, he opted for Paris Saint-Germain after a last minute U-turn.

It's unlikely to have gone down well with Guardiola, who was unaware the full-back had turned City down until he learned he was in France for a medical.

However, the Brazilian has ultimately had to do what's best for his career.

The most bizarre element in all this is that he decided against staying with Juve.

As per the Telegraph, his main reason for choosing PSG over City was "to become a champion".

Perhaps the Bianconeri's six successive Scudettos aren't enough, and they have come much closer to winning the Champions League in recent years than either of the clubs he considered joining this summer.

It appears there was a good reason behind his unhappiness in Turin, however, as he has now bemoaned the atmosphere in Max Allegri's dressing room.

Alves didn't fit in

The 34-year-old has always come across as a somewhat eccentric personality, and he initially had trouble fitting in at his former club.

“At first I had a lot of trouble because they didn’t understand me, on or off the pitch,” he told L'Equipe.

“It took some time to make the connection between what I thought and what they thought, and once we found that connection the results came.

“That’s what I could bring them, how to have a good fluidity in the dressing room.

Bad atmosphere 

“Frustration? Here’s an example. In the dressing room, we weren’t allowed to put music on. I can’t live without music, without dancing.

“I’m not a crazy person who wants to change all the rules, and everyone has his own way or raising his energy and transmitting it to others.

“I was viewed with a bit of suspicion though. Little by little, it improved and we had a good second half of the season."

Alves' decision to move on was probably in the best interests of all parties, but Juve now face yet another summer of rebuilding.

Even more worryingly, the Italian champions are set to part with centre-back Leonardo Bonucci, who is reportedly on the verge of a switch to AC Milan.
