Dani Alves Breaks Off Extension Talks With Bar 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Apr 10, 2015 7:48 pm

Dani Alves' agent has ended all negotiations with Barcelona as he's set to make his long-awaited departure this summer.

Barcelona declined to offer Alves more than a one-year deal.

Alves is represented by his ex-wife.

"We waited a whole year to talk to Barca," Santa Ana said. "We had two offers on the table, but we stopped all negotiations to listen to what Barca had to say."

She added: "There is another club willing to give Dani a three-year contract with a higher wage, plus the option of another year. But Barca told us they could not get near those figures.

"Dani would be happy to stay on the same wages he is on now, but they offered one year plus the option of two more. This morning, a formal offer arrived by e-mail, but it stipulated that he has to play 60 per cent of the games for it to be renewed the following year.

"Dani is sad. He expected more from Barca. The negotiations are finished now. He will finish his contract as best as he can."
