This summer, such players as Antoine Griezmann, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to their clubs, and now it seems that there will be another romantic comeback. SPORT journalist Albertas Roge reports that Xavi has given the green light for Dani Alves to return to the Catalan team. It is also reported that the acquisition of this veteran should be presented next week, as the newly appointed "Barcos" coach Xavi wants to integrate his former teammate into the main team as soon as possible. Dani Alves played for the "Barcos" team from 2008 to 2016. During this time, the Brazilian player won 3 Champions League titles and six "La Liga" championship titles with the Catalans. The last stop of the defender's career was the "Sao Paulo" team in Brazil. In the summer, Dani Alves also won an Olympic gold with the national team at the Tokyo Olympic Games. The 38-year-old veteran should join the team as a player, but in the future, he may help the team with sports management, as club president Joan Laporta stated. Xavi and Dani Alves were teammates for all 8 years.
