Dani Alves’ career could have looked very different. In 2006, Liverpool tried to remove the Brazilian from Seville, but at the last minute that deal fell into the water. Both clubs did not reach agreement on the transfer price and the Reds opted for Jermaine Pennant. Dani Alves stayed with Seville for another two years and then signed at Barcelona.
In an interview with FourFourTwo, the rightback looks back on the deflected transfer,”I had more or less an agreement with Liverpool. But for some reason it didn’t happen at the last minute. I have no idea why not, because I did not conduct the negotiations,”says Dani Alves, who has been playing for Paris Saint-Germain since this season,”other people represented me at the time. Later in my career something similar happened at Chelsea and Real Madrid.
“In the end, it all ended well for me and for the supporters of Barcelona, because I was able to write a wonderful story there,”continues Dani Alves. Brazil’s 34-year-old international has not yet given up hope of joining the Premier League,”I still have that ambition, but I do not know if it will happen. First I have enough to reach with Paris Saint-Germain.
Will Paris Saint-Germain become the last club of Dani Alves?
