Dani Alves headed to Pumas UNAM, could play against Barcelona - report

Dani Alves is one step away from joining Mexican side UNAM on a free transfer from FC Barcelona, according to the latest rumor.

The 39-year-old has accepted to join Pumas and is now ready to receive the contract, and only his signature is left to make it official.

The club has put forth a strong offer in terms of salary, and it’s expected that he could play as a midfielder rather than a right-back due to his advancing age.

Alves is the most decorated footballer in history going by sheer number of trophies, and is hoping to get in the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year.
