Guardiola looked set to land the Brazilian full-back, 34, in a fairytale reunion.

But the ex-Juventus player snubbed them for a move to Paris where he was offered wages of £230,000 a week - and it could be argued an easier life.

Alves, who wore his new kit in full during the unveiling and joins on a two-year deal, said: "If Pep Guardiola and Manchester City feel hurt, I am sorry.

"But I have come here to be a champion.
