From not having a club and being very close to retirement to returning to the Catalan club again
The Brazilian side Dani alves is closer to returning to FC Barcelona than it seems, after approval by Xavi Hernandez. The new Culé coach knows the right-handed lane very well, because beyond having played together between 2008 and 2015, he knows the quality that the player, today a free agent, still possesses.
The carioca has run out of club, after in September the Sao Paulo make his departure official, having not reached an agreement renewal. From that moment on, the player offered to play for Barcelona under certain conditions. It was said that Alves was willing to return to the Camp Nou, without charging a single euro.

The new Barça coach wants 1000 experience, and Dani Alves is the most indicated
Xavi arrived as a fairly demanding coach, and made it clear from minute 0, that the Culé squad will be working non-stop. One example of his training methods was to make the entire squad get up early and begin to perfect their strategies. The coach already has knowledge of his players, and has seen youth from the hand of a lot of talent.
That youth must be shaped by experience and what better way to return to the player with the most titles in world football history. In addition to this, Alves is an icon for Barcelona, because with his presence the team won more than 26 trophies. He is the right footballer for the goal that Xavi wants to achieve in his first days of adaptation.
With Dani Alves back at the Camp Nou, Barcelona will have two coaches
This is what Xavi Hernández believes, and that is why he has prioritized the right-winger as his first signing. At 38 years of age, Dani Alves has a fairly extensive track record in terms of titles, individual honors, and above all, plenty of experience. With him on the sports field, the coach will have a spokesperson giving his instructions on the field of play.
In the next few days, the Brazilian will travel to Barcelona to begin negotiating the conditions of his new relationship. In the first instance, there is talk of a contract for the remainder of the season, with an option to renew according to the performance of the full-back. Most of the Blaugrana environment is convinced that the player will not only perform but will add another new title with Barca, to his long record.
