DANI ALVES confirmed his Juventus exit by penning a tribute to the Serie A club and fans on Instagram.
The Brazilian defender ended his one-year stint in Italy by mutual consent and is set for a move to the Premier League.
Man City are in the box seat to sign Alves due to his admiration for manager Pep Guardiola.
A two-year deal is all agreed and the free transfer should be announced once all the red tape has been sorted.
Chelsea had also shown an interest but the Brazilian dropped a big hint last week Guardiola would be a main factor.
City’s boss hopes his former favourite will be one of three new full-backs on the plane when they depart for a tour of North America on July 17.
Alves is reportedly willing to earn £1.7million-a-year less to join Man City than what Chelsea offered him.
According to the report in Goal, the West London club were ready to offer Alves, 34, around £6.1m-a-year.
But the Brazilian has taken City's offer of £4.3m instead to move to the Etihad.
The ex-Barca star moved to Italian giants Juve last summer where he helped them to a league and cup double and the Champions League final.
