A few minutes before 5 pm local time Dani Alves landed on the 'El Prat' airport of Barcelona. A private plane had brought him first from Sevilla to Madrid and from there to the Catalan capital.
From the airport, Alves and some Barcelona officials went to the Barcelona offices where the player posed before the photographers. From the Camp Nou, the Brazilian right back defender was driven to the 'Hospital de Barcelona' where the player succesfully underwent the medical tests. The signature of the contract and the official presentation are expected to follow tomorrow (read more here).
Alves gave a first interview to the official club media: "This is a very important step in my life and in my career. I'm anxious and looking forward to play as soon as possible so I can prove that the club made the right decision. Playing for Barcelona is a dream for me and I'm very happy that I will realize that dream. This transfer is a magnificent reward for all the work I have been doing until now. It's a reason to be delighted and very satisfied to know that a club like Barcelona was interested in me and wanted me for this new project."
