Manchester City target Dani Alves reveals his frustration over Barcelona talks

Manchester City target Dani Alves is determined to sign a new contract at Barcelona. Alves has been unable to agree a new deal with the Catalan club and admits he is frustrated by Barca's stance during recent negotiations. 'I don't feel the club have bent over backwards to renew my contract - it's a feeling I have,' he told local newspaper Sport. Committed: Dani Alves says he wants to stay at Barcelona 'I just want an agreement to be reached now, or within a few days. 'I don't like the fact there have been so many rumours - I'm as committed to this project as anyone in the squad.' Alves has been a key part of Barca's success under Pep Guardiola, adding a new dimension to the club's attacking play with his dangerous forays down the right flank. Widely considered to be the best in the world in his position, Alves knows he would be expensive to replace and admits he wants parity with the club's highest earners. 'I won't be a hypocrite - if the club want to replace me it could cost them dear,' he said.'What Dani wants is for the club to value him depending on his importance and influence within the squad. 'If they do that, I'll be delighted and if not, thanks for these years (at the club).' In the meantime, however, the 27-year-old says he remains fully committed to the Barca cause. 'I will break my back for this team, even if I don't renew,' he said. 'It's a dream to form part of this dressing room and whatever is said, written or protested, my name is already written in the history of this club.' Manchester City find a cure for Balotelli but not for squad fatigueManchester City beware!
