Barcelona’s Dani Alves says he wants to stay at the Catalan giants but concedes it is not only his decision.
The Brazilian joined the Blaugrana in 2008 from Sevilla and has won four La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues with the club.
“I am very happy at Barca,” Alves is quoted as saying by AS. “We have had some marvellous years, not so much the last ones, but now is the time to get back to enjoying ourselves at this club.
“I need to speak to Luis Enrique, my hope is to continue working together. I still have some contract remaining and once we have met we will decide whether I will continue or not.
“It’s not just my decision. My plan is to finish my contract that I signed but it has to be by mutual consent.”
Alves also commented on FIFA’s decision to prevent new signing Luis Suarez from being unveiled as a Barca player, due to his worldwide ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini.
“There have been worse actions that have gone unpunished. His was a sudden action in the heat of the moment.
“That he can’t even be unveiled is very strange. It’s a luxury for Barca to have him here.”
