One of the best right-back defenders of all time, Daniel Alves, returns to the "Barcelona" team, as announced by the club itself. New "Barca" coach Xavi gave the green light to this transfer, and everything was quickly finalized. Brazil reached an agreement with the club regarding contract conditions, and "La Liga" also confirmed this move. However, D. Alves will only be able to start playing in the "La Liga" championship from January, according to the rules. Xavi believes that the Brazilian will be a very important part of the team and wishes that the experienced veteran would already start training with the main team next week. D. Alves, together with "Barca," has won the UEFA Champions League three times and the "La Liga" title six times. The 38-year-old defender represented the club from 2008 to 2016 and was teammates with the current coach Xavi at that time. In his Instagram account, the Brazilian wrote: "I suffered for almost 5 years like crazy to come back here. I didn't know it would take so long, I didn't think it would be so hard, but I knew in my heart and soul that one day I would return here. I am one of you. I do not know how long this dream will last, let it last forever. Soon we will meet where I admire everything as if I were there for the first time, and now my desire will be to help the best club in the world rebuild!!", wrote D. Alves. D. Alves signed a contract until 2022, with the possibility to extend it until 2023, when the Brazilian would already celebrate his 40th birthday.
