Dani Alves camp puzzled as Barca set to let Brazilian leave for free

The Brazilian's agent says his client is set to leave Barcelona this summer

The right back has yet to be offered a new contract by the Spanish giants.

The 31-year-old’s current deal expires this summer and with no fresh offer on the table, Alves’ representatives are now starting to consider other options.

“They (Barca) have not gotten in touch with us,” Alves’ agent Dinorah Santana told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

“Hence, we interpret that Barca does not want Alves to continue so we will find another club.”

Alves expected to remain with the Catalan giants after the summer considering Barca cannot sign any players in 2015 after being banned by FIFA for breaking the rules concerning under-age player transfers.

“It’s strange that they would let him (Alves) leave on a free transfer,” Santana said.

“But if they have not said anything up to now, I believe they do not want to renew Alves’ contract.”

Alves joined Barca from Sevilla in 2008 and has won four Primera Division titles and two Champions League crowns with the Blaugrana among other trophies.

The South American has started in 15 league games for Luis Enrique’s side this season. Barca are second in La Liga, one point adrift of Real Madrid, who have a game in hand.
