Alves is due in Manchester at the start of next week to tie
up his free transfer to the Etihad.
He will sign a two-year deal and re-unite with his former
Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola.
The terms of the deal have already been agreed, according to
Mirror.
Alves, 34, has completed his holiday and will begin pre-season training with
Manchester City next weekend.
The Brazilian will then jet off a week later with his new
team-mates on their pre-season tour of the United States.
