Alves to Juventus next week

Juventus will have to wait until next week to confirm the signing of Dani Alves, according to reports.

The Brazilian full-back has exercised his option to leave Barcelona on a free transfer, and it appears to be all-but certain that he’ll move to the Bianconeri.

The deal could not be officially completed while Alves was playing for Brazil in the Copa America, but the Seleção were eliminated in the group stage.

The deal could not be officially completed while Alves was playing for Brazil in the Copa America, but the Seleção were eliminated in the group stage.

However, Mundo Deportivo is reporting that Alves has asked for time off with his family, which Juventus have granted, so he won’t officially sign until next week.

The 33-year-old will become the Old Lady’s second signing of the summer, with Miralem Pjanic already having joined from Roma.
