The 39-year-old joined the Catalans during last season’s winter transfer window
as a free agent from Sao Paulo and was a key part of the initial resurgence of
Barca under Xavi Hernandez. The right back played in 14 La Liga matches,
scoring once with three assists upon his return after six years away.

His current deal expires at the end of the month, but he
had requested a new one that would run until at least the end of the year, as
he hoped that continuing at the Camp Nou would keep him in contention to make
the Brazil squad for the World Cup in Qatar in November. However, Alves has now
been informed that he will not be offered a new deal this summer.
