Marotta: 'Dani Alves leaves Juve'

By Football Italia staff

Juventus director Beppe Marotta confirmed Dani Alves will terminate his contract by mutual consent for Manchester City, while Alex Sandro “received a substantial offer.”

Dani Alves only arrived a year ago as a free agent when his Barcelona deal expired, contributing six goals and seven assists in 33 competitive games.

“It’s not a breakdown of our rapport, as motivation is fundamental for a player,” Marotta told Calciomercato.com and Mediaset Premium today.

“Dani Alves told us he wants to try an alternative experience, so we will terminate the contract by mutual consent and wish him all the best.

“Of course there is disappointment at what he said, but we confirm there was no split.”

Dani Alves infuriated fans this week by urging Paulo Dybala to leave Juventus if he wanted to reach his full potential.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are reported to have made a €50m offer for left-back Alex Sandro.

“A substantial offer has arrived,” confirmed director general Marotta.

“We have no intention of selling anyone, but if a player decides to leave, as has happened in previous years, then at the end of the day he has to go, because we don’t keep anyone against their will.

“But at the moment there are no such situations and I hope nobody will leave.”

Another deal with a Premier League side is under investigation, as FIFA announced they are looking into Juventus for the Paul Pogba sale to Manchester United.

“It was a transfer with very high numbers, so it’s only natural there was an investigation. We acted in full respect of the rules, replied to the FIFA questions and are confident there will be no disciplinary action.”
