Dani Alves’ future could still remain at Barcelona, as Spanish radio station Cadena Cope suggest he may sign a new deal at the Nou Camp in the coming weeks.
The Brazilian right-back previously stated he would not be signing a new deal with the Catalan outfit, and the 2014/15 season would be his last under manager Luis Enrique.
Speculation has repeatedly linked the 31-year-old to Manchester United, but with Nathaniel Clyne a probable target for Louis van Gaal, a switch to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain is also a possibility, ensuring European football for the defender next season.
However, Spanish media outlet AS have reported that the radio station believe a late deal could still be struck with Barcelona – who look set to secure La Liga success with Champions League glory on the horizon.
In a programme entitled ‘El Partido’ (The Match), the details of a contract were not discussed, although his future could well remain in Barcelona to ensure his children remained in the capital of Catalonia.
Former partner and current agent, Dinorah Santa Ana, previously stated in a press conference that the defender had almost guaranteed a move away, although the first-team regular could change his made. Enrique is also noted to favour the defender, who has made 38 appearances in all competitions this season.
Furthermore, a replacement for Alves would not be secured under the winter, with a transfer ban from FIFA blocking all moves this summer. As a result, a short term contract could be offered to the defender until the ban expires.
Dani Alves has seven assists to his name this season.
