Dani Alves has confirmed that he’ll be joining Juventus, declaring ‘I want to win in Europe with Juve’.
Barcelona issued a statement earlier this week, thanking Alves for his years at the Camp Nou and confirming his departure.
The Brazilian full-back was linked to Juventus over the past fortnight and reports intensified that a deal had already been completed, with Alves agreeing a two-year contract including an option for an additional year.
Speaking to Sportitalia, Alves spoke his first words as a Juve player:
“I won so much at Barcelona but now I want to win with Juventus.
“I’m always happy but I had to make a change in my career.
“I want to win in Europe with Juventus. I will go to Italy to win.
“I will be in Turin within days to sign. I already saluted the Barcelona fans and it’s a see you soon, not a goodbye forever. I am coming to Italy to win and then maybe return, because I remain a Blaugrana fan.”
The 33-year old apparently changed his ‘Whatsapp’ profile picture to reflect his move to Juve.
Ok, not a bad start. Who knows anything about this Ikone kid? I find it interesting that he was/is considering Juve on advice from Kingsley Coman.
Talk now that it may not happen – He might stay at PSG.
Marottanomics – total signing cost 0
everyone wants to remind me of this 🙂 and the Barzagli fee of 100k….
Hey mate, Barzagli costed around €100k!
If I’m not mistaken Juventus offered Bilbao 3m euro in the January window for Llorente but they said no and when El Rey Leon later signed in the summer he got a sign on bonus for around 3m euros.
Now I have seen rumours linking Lichtsteiner to PSG, this looks like it will be a rough summer for us!
The picture suggests he thinks we’ll win the CL in 2021?
