The Brazil international will leave Catalonia after
eight years and 23 major honours with the Camp
Nou club in favour of a switch to the Italian giants
this summer
EXCLUSIVE
Barcelona full-back Dani Alves will join Serie A
winners Juventus this week on a two-year contract,
Goal can reveal.
The 33-year-old is expected to earn around €4
million-per-year during his stay in Turin, with the
option of an additional year inserted into his
contract.
The marauding right-back brings with him a wealth
of international experience, having won 89 caps for
his country, and is highly regarded by Massimiliano
Allegri, who is eager to stamp his authority on
Europe.

Alves, who joined the Blaugrana from Sevilla in
2008, will arrive with considerable UEFA Champions
League exposure, having lifted the European Cup on
three occasions in 2009, 2011 and 2015.
Wing-back Stephan Lichtsteiner has a contract at
the club until 2017 and is unlikely to depart the Old
Lady of Italian football following the Brazilian's
impending switch, with Juan Cuadrado tipped to join
former manager Antonio Conte at Chelsea this
summer.
Juve will also offer Alves' team-mate Javier
Mascherano a two-year deal, however the option of
a third will not be included. The Argentine defender
is keen to move to the Italian north and talks with
his agents have gone smoothly, but an agreement
with Barca is still yet to be met.
The European heavyweight clubs enjoy a great
working relationship and Juve are hesistent to
stretch their correspondence but Mascherano is
enamoured with the idea of being allowed to return
to a midfield role under Allegri.
