Dani Alves says emotional goodbye to Barcelona

Dani Alves has confirmed he’s leaving Barcelona for a second time after the Catalan giants opted against offering the 39-year-old a new contract.

The Brazilian returned to Barcelona in January on a free transfer and it had looked for a while as though he would continue but the veteran has now confirmed his time is up.

Alves wrote a typically charismatic and emotional goodbye on Instagram where he made it crystal clear just how much he has loved being back at the Camp Nou this season.
