Finishing the final points of the contract with Dani Alves, as claimed by the Catalan newspaper "Sport.es."
It is reported that the new contract with the defender could be signed in 2-3 weeks.
The Brazilian playing on the right flank is considered one of the best footballers in this position. A player known for his speed and stunning endurance forms a menacing tandem with the Argentine Lionel Messi.
According to "Sport.es," the contract offered to the defender will be valid until the summer of 2014 or 2015. Alves's current contract with "Barcelona" expires on June 30, 2012. It includes a release clause of 90 million euros.
It is undeniable that negotiations with the player's representatives have been prolonged due to financial points in the new contract. However, according to sources within the club, this will not prevent a contract from being signed with the player.
Rumors circulated in various media outlets and internet portals that Alves was of interest to London's "Chelsea" and several other English clubs. However, it is reported that the player himself publicly acknowledges in talks with club officials and head coach Pep Guardiola that he wants to continue his career at "Barcelona."
Alves arrived at "Barcelona" in the summer of 2008 from the "Sevilla" team. The Catalans did not spare almost 30 million euros for the outstanding player.
