Dani Alves has revealed he would not have agreed to return to Barcelona if former president Josep Maria Bartomeu had still been in charge of the club.
The Brazilian returned to the club for a second spell in November, on a free transfer, and will be eligible to play for Barca competitively again from January.
Alves says there would have been “no point” in working with Bartomeu and also backed president Joan Laporta to turn the club’s fortunes around.
“I would not have accepted an offer from him,” he said.
“I left when he was president and there was no point in working with him again.
