Something he was only able to accomplish last November. During November, FC Barcelona got their hands on Dani Alves , five years after his departure for Juventus . Free from any contract since the termination of his lease with Sao Paulo last september, the brazilian right-back returned to his favorite club as he has shouted from the rooftops since his arrival became official in recent weeks. Asked to comment on the process of his return to Barca, Dani Alves went behind the scenes of the operation, saying it was still part of his plan. “I always thank football for bringing me back to a place I have wanted to come back to for five years. I left Barcelona to go to Juve. In my head it was: “Have amazing seasons at Juventus and come back to Barca. It didn't work, I went to PSG, I thought the same thing, but it didn't work. I went to Sao Paulo with the same mentality. Which is difficult for a player who returns to Brazil to be able to return to a big club like Barça. And when everyone thought I was done, that I couldn't come back to Europe. Football said, “uh uh”. (Editor's note, he nods to say no). You go back to a big club. You don't deserve people to think you're done. You go back to a big club because that's what you deserve “. first told Dani Alves to the Canal Football Club before discussing the situation of FC Barcelona . “When I saw that the club was in transition and couldn't recruit too much, I thought that with my experience and knowledge of the club, I could help. The opportunity to come back to this club that I love so much has come and I've always said if Barca need me they just have to call me “.
