In the last few days, information has been coming out in which they bet on the continuity of Dani Alves for the next season, highlighting that the decision had already been agreed between the technical secretariat and the president. However, As AS has learned, the decision on the future of the Brazilian international has not yet been formalized, far from it.
Both the technicians and those responsible for the sports area they prefer to wait until the end of the season to make the decision. The main argument is that they are awaiting the preparation of the template to give the green light to the continuity of Alves. Speaking in silver, if Barca finally gets the services of César Azpilicueta (Chelsea) and Noussair Mazraoui (Ajax) would be very difficult for the Brazilian to continue, and even more so if it is decided that Dest will continue at the club. Then the ‘overbooking’ on the right wing would be such that it would prevent Alves from continuing for another year at the club, as he wishes.
In any case, the sensations today are very positive: The veteran player has become a very important person in the Blaugrana dressing room, both on and off the pitch. But it is also true that when it came time to rule out a player for the Europa League, Xavi, much to his regret, opted for the Brazilian side, ahead of the other three winter reinforcements: Aubameyang, Adama and Ferran.
Thus, the decision to continue Alves will not be as immediate as speculated. Everything will depend on the final configuration of the template and if all the objectives are achieved or not.
