Football Club Barcelona sources confirmed AS that, in case the signing is closed, Daniel Alves (6-5-1983) you will not be able to play until next January 2022. Despite having a free card due to the departure of Pjanic to Besiktas, the Brazilian right-back dissociated himself from the São Paulo in mid-September, when the markets of the Spanish and Brazilian leagues had already closed. Therefore, and even if it is an unemployed player, it cannot be registered. What’s more, Barça could not make room for him either due to an alleged long-term absence from Agüero since in that case only players from LaLiga.
Even so, the intention of Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany is to close when before the signing of the Brazilian that, although he is in good shape, He will have almost two months to get in shape and debut from January 1 in the best conditions. The case would resemble that of Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan, when Barça signed them in the summer of 2015 despite the FIFA sanction and both could not debut until the beginning of 2016.
