| Dani Alves |
Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta has confirmed
Dani Alves will leave Barcelona when his contract expires at the end of the
2014-15 season.
Alves, 31, had been repeatedly linked with a move away from
Camp Nou this summer, with the Catalan club signing fellow Brazilian Douglas as
added competition at right-back for both Alves and Martin Montoya.
But despite rumours of Alves departing the club where he has
spent the past six seasons, Zubirarreta insists that the club is happy to keep
hold of the defender for the final year of his contract.
The Spanish giants have had a busy summer transfer window,
bringing in seven new signings to challenge champions Atletico Madrid for the
Liga title and compete in Europe to dethrone Champions League holders Real
Madrid before FIFA's year-long ban on them registering new players takes effect
in January.
Alves has played an instrumental role for Barcelona in
recent years, making 190 league appearances and scoring 14 goals while winning
four Liga titles, two Copas del Rey, two Champions League titles and two Fifa
Club World Cups.
