The Alves-Barça case burns

Dani Alves could return to Barcelona in the winter market. According to the Brazilian media UOL, the Bahian defender will meet this week with the culé board of directors to negotiate his return to the club. In the Catalan entity they consider that the right back is a position that they need to reinforce, since they only have Dest for that demarcation, in addition to the wild card of Sergi Roberto.

The Brazilian is a free agent since he terminated his contract with Sao Paulo in September for defaults. Despite the fact that his idea was to stay in his country (he came to negotiate with Fluminense), the possibility of returning to Barcelona has made him change his mind, and has rejected all the offers he has had in Brazil to try to return to Barcelona.

The footballer will negotiate in the coming days with the club the duration of the contract and the salary he would receive, although I would not put many impediments, knowing the economic difficulties that crosses the Barcelona entity. The agreement will also be subject to the approval of Xavi Hernández, new coach of the club, who in principle would support the arrival from his former partner.

The winks between the club and the footballer have occurred in recent weeks. “Dani is helping our club in many ways, He has also offered his help from the sports field “, Laporta declared recently. Alves has also insinuated himself on several occasions, insisting with statements in which he stated:”If they need me, call me“. The club has ensured that they are in direct contact with him and that he is willing to return to help as necessary.

The signing could be given shortly, but the debut would have to wait several weeks. Although Dani Alves is a free agent, the RFEF regulations only allow free players to be registered in LaLiga after the deadline, who will be left without a team before the summer market closes. Upon termination in September, the full-back would have to wait for registration and his subsequent debut until January 2022.

The Brazilian has between eyebrows the World Cup in Qatar, which it would be his last major tournament with his team, and he is aware that playing for the Catalan club would considerably increase his chances of attending the World Cup event. Since he left in 2016, with 23 titles won during his stay at ‘Can Barça’, no player has been able to make the Bahian forget.

In Barcelona, ​​meanwhile, they see Alves very useful in several respects. The footballer with the most titles in football history would come to bring experience and stripes to a young set. In addition to the packaging that it would give the team, it would be key in Sergiño Dest’s learning, who would have one of the best full-backs in history as a ‘teacher’.
