Most recently at Juventus, the 34-year-old had terminated his contract with the Bianconeri on June 29 and City were said to be favourites to sign the dynamic right-back.
For Alves and Guardiola had worked together at Barcelona, enjoying unprecedented success but Les Parisiens swooped in at the last minute to hijack the deal, despite the best efforts of the Catalan manager.
“Believe me, I am coming to Paris to win. I know the ambitions of my new club and the expectations of its many fans around the world. We're going to share in some great times, I'm certain of that,” Alves added.
