At 39 years old, Dani Alves continues to interest Brazilian football. Botafogo would have tried to snatch the experienced winger from Pumas de la UNAM. Alves’ stay in Mexico could be in jeopardy
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar ended with great disappointment for the Brazilian team. Among those summoned was Dani Alves, a player for Pumas de la UNAM who in the coming months would play his second tournament in Mexican soccer. But from Brazil they would be interested in hiring the experienced winger.
“Seeing it as a market opportunity, Botafogo surveyed the right-back for the 2023 season,” this was the information shared by the media outlet Uol Esporte on its website.
It is worth mentioning that Dani Alves would have a contract with the Mexican team until June 2023. The 39-year-old Brazilian has already played 12 games with Pumas de la UNAM and, in theory, should count for the club in the Clausura 2023 .
Dani Alves would have turned his back on Botafogo
Despite the alleged insinuation from the Brazilian team, the same source clarified that the player himself would have expressed his intentions to stay in Mexico until he ends his contract. In this way, Dani Alves would have closed the doors, momentarily, upon his return to Brazil, a country where he has played for clubs like Bahia and Sao Paulo.
