​ Dani Alves has dropped the biggest hint yet that he is set to leave Barcelona on a free transfer in the summer after posting an Instagram image of himself and his four Brazilian team-mates , along with what seemed like a good bye message.

The 31-year-old full-back, who is out of contract in the summer, posted a picture with Douglas, Adriano, Rafinha and Neymar and seemed to suggest that he is getting ready to leave in the near future.





The picture was uploaded with the caption, "My Brazilian family makes me proud, to be part of this quintet is good. If you have to go, do it with boldness, a beautiful smile and joy in the heart. I'm going to go, so let it be like that. Try to be happy and don't try to be perfect."





In recent weeks, Alves's agent, Dinorah Santana, had publicly revealed that Barcelona had yet to approach the player about an extension and would have no problems leaving after seven years at Camp Nou.





Manchester United are rumoured to be one of the interested parties, with preliminary talks with Santana already believed to have taken place.
