Transfer News: Brazil Dani Alves complete moves to Juventus

Thirty-three year old right back, Dani Alves has completed a free transfer to Italian giants, Juventus after signing a two-year contract on Monday afternoon. Dai Alves left Barcelona where he had a long and successful career having indicated that he would not be signing a new career in the summer.

An excerpt of a press statement from the Serie A champions reads;

The unrelenting success and remarkable consistency of the second most decorated player in UEFA competition history has seen the Brazilian deservedly be considered among the greatest wing-backs of his generation.

Having played a key role in one of the most trophy-laden spells of any club over the course of the game’s existence, including a history-making pair of domestic and European trebles at Barcelona, Alves’ transfer to Juventus marks the arrival of a natural-born winner and a true master of his trade. 

Explosively athletic, sharp in the tackle and possessing the sort of vision and weight of pass that normally characterise attacking midfielders, the 33-year old fits the mould of the modern full-back and continues the Selecao’s tradition of producing exciting and dynamic wide players.
