The Brazilian acquired this right from January 1, when the so-called transfer window opened in Europe and clubs can adjust their rosters: buying, selling, or loaning players within a month.
According to FIFA rules, players whose contracts have six months left can now freely and officially begin negotiations with potential future employers, and they do not need to receive permission from their current clubs.
D. Alves' contract with "Barcelona" expires this summer, so the legionnaire of the Catalan club meets these conditions, and if he reached an agreement with another team, he would leave his current team for free after this season. The defender came to "Barcelona" from the "Sevilla" team in 2008, and the Catalans did not hesitate to pay 29.5 million euros for the player.
However, unofficially it is mentioned that the current Spanish vice-champions may still change their preliminary decision not to sign a contract with the defender and offer the player to extend the collaboration for at least one additional season.
Taking such actions could prompt the Catalan club to act from January 1, when the FIFA ban on buying new players for one year came into force. "Barcelona" received this punishment for violations related to registering underage players in their youth academy. The Catalans will only be able to strengthen their roster with new signings in January 2016.
