‘Alves on verge of another club’

The agent of Dani Alves has claimed that the Barcelona defender is ‘close’ to signing for another club.

The 31-year-old has still not been offered a renewal by the Catalans, despite his contract expiring at the end of the season, and Dinorah Santa Ana – the Brazilian’s representative and former wife – has admitted for the first time that her client is in talks with another team.

“We’re close to signing for another club, talks are underway,” she told RAC1.

“Dani is still available [for renewal], but we don’t expect much else [from Barca].”

Alves’ departure would limit Barca to just Martin Montoya and Douglas Pereira as recognised options at right-back until 2016, when the club’s transfer embargo is lifted.
