The Brazilian is set to end his seven-year spell at Barca when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The La Liga giants are reportedly unwilling to open talks over a new deal, despite the 31-year-old's desire to remain at the Nou Camp.

However, PSG chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi has ruled his club out of the running.

"PSG were interested in [Dani] Alves for a long time," the PSG president told L’Equipe. "But we aren’t anymore."

The news comes as a boost to Premier League giants United, who are understood to be lining up a £150,000-a-week contract to lure him to Old Trafford.

Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is reportedly in the market for an experienced right-back to replace the 24-year-old Rafael.
