Dani Alves praises Pep Guardiola as talks continue about his exit from Juventus

Juventus defender Dani Alves says "everyone knows my admiration for Pep Guardiola" as speculation continues regarding his future.
Earlier this week, Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta confirmed the Brazilian international has asked to leave the Serie A champions this summer.
SSNHQ has reported that both Manchester City and Chelsea are interested in signing the 34-year-old.
Alves worked with City boss Pep Guardiola when the pair were at Barcelona and he admits his agents are working to secure his exit from Turin.
"Leaving Juve on a free transfer?" Alves told Brazilian talk show Conversa com Bial. "I don't know what's happening.
"Have I asked to leave? I've left the work to my agents, and they've said they'd talk to me once they found a resolution.
"If I go, it'll be without any conflicts, without any problems, as opposed to what's being said."
When asked if City would be his next team, Alves replied: "Well, everyone knows my admiration for Pep Guardiola."
