Dani Alves's eagerly awaited press conference did not dispel the doubts about his future, instead leaving the issue hanging until 7th June, when Barcelona will have contested the Champions League final.

"While I'm wearing this shirt, nothing will change. I'll announce my decision after 7th June. For now, my future is about enjoying the two finals", the Brazilian stated.

The full-back had several digs at the Camp Nou hierarchy insinuating that he has been underappreciated: "I'm not thinking about money, I'm thinking about what I do being valued. If they don't value what I do, then this club is not for me. The club doesn't value me the way I feel I deserve".

"I'm intelligent enough not to kick up a stink with two cup finals to play. I'm here to defend myself against all the nonsense that's been said. I'm 200% committed to the team, but to the club not even 10%", said Dani Alves, who added that he is "virtually out the door" of the club which he has represented for the past seven seasons.

The Brazilian explained that he spoke to the president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, over a month ago, when they "talked about lots of things of no interest". "They were of no interest to me, so you can imagine they'd be of even less interest to you (the press)", remarked Alves, who added that the president "knows what he needs to do" to keep him at the club.

The defender does not believe that he is "indispensable", but claimed that the job which he has done deserves better recompense.

He says that he has "reached the limit" of his patience after hearing "nonsense and rubbish" talked about him. He stressed that the club has "disrespected" him and resorted to paraphrasing his former manager, Josep Guardiola: "Like Pep says, I don't care if they talk crap about me."

Having clarified the state of things, he assured that he is focussing on the team in order to win the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, and that he will not announce his intentions until after the final in Berlin. However, "at this point" he does not see himself anywhere near Barcelona.
