Barcelona are currently having a transfer ban on them and do not have the luxury of buying or selling players. They were careless about certain regulations regarding Fifa’s rules on the buying of players aged under 18. Now they have to work with the resources that are already available to them. One superstar that could be on the verge of leaving the Catalan club would be 31-year-old right-back Dani Alves.
The Brazilian has a contract with the club which is set to expire in June. There have been talks going on regarding a new deal, but nothing has materialized yet. Recent rumours have linked him with a move away from the club and Premier League giants Manchester United have shown interest in signing him. Manager Louis van Gaal is unhappy with his current options and will look to bring him to Old Trafford, in the summer. The player’s ex-wife and Ms 15% Dinorah Santana had talks with the La Liga outfit and recently said,
“On Monday, I had a meeting with [Barcelona suit] Javier Bordad,” she explained. “On Wednesday I have had the second meeting. I have already received an offer, although I can’t say if I am happy or not. There will be more meetings. They told me they will call me to arrange the next one.”
