Barcelona
have confirmed Dani Alves will be leaving but have ruled out any attempt
to sign Hector Bellerin from Arsenal as his replacement.
Barca
sporting director Roberto Fernandez said: ‘Dani has decided to go and
we have to accept his decision. He has confirmed to the club that he
wants to leave.
'We
have to remember that he finished his contract a year ago but we could
not sign anyone last summer because of the FIFA ban and so it was a
difficult situation for us and he renewed. But now he is looking for the
best option for him.’
Alves is close to agreeing terms with Juventus although his agent Dinorah Santana is also speaking to Paris Saint-Germain.
The
player can negotiate a lucrative final contract because the terms of
his renewal last summer mean Barcelona will not get a transfer fee for
him.
The
33-year-old Brazilian full back leaves after eight seasons at the club
where he has won 23 trophies and he goes just as former Barca youth team
player Bellerin has broken through into the Spain team.
