Alves fuels Robinho exit fears as Brazil star tells Barca to sign City striker

Dani Alves has poured further doubt on Robinho's uncertain Manchester City future by telling Barcelona to sign his Brazilian compatriot this summer in a bid to halt the threat of big-spending rivals Real Madrid. The former Sevilla full-back is currently oninternational duty with City's record £34million signing as they prepare for the FIFA Confederations Cup, starting on Sunday, in South Africa. Alves insists nobody at the Nou Camp is worried about the incredible £136 million spending spree so far at the Bernabeu, but believes the addition of Robinho - a former Real 'Galactico' - would make the European champions even stronger next term.
