Daniel Alves: Why I chose Juventus

Published on: 21 February 2017

Daniel Alves has explained his decision to make the move to Juventus.

The fullback arrived in the summer from Barcelona.

“I like to feel wanted, and if someone doesn't want me then I'm leaving," Dani Alves explained to ABC.

“Leaving Barcelona on a free was a classy punch. During my last three seasons I kept hearing 'Dani Alves is leaving', but the directors never said anything .

“They were very false and ungrateful, they didn't respect me. They only offered me a renewal when they got the FIFA sanctions.

“That's why I played them at their own game and signed a renewal with a release clause. Those who run Barcelona today have no idea how to treat their players.

“Why Juventus? I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and compete at a high level with a historic and winning club, because I'm a winner. So are Juventus.

“This is an institution which always has something to teach you, which always competes. I'm happy here, and I've found beautiful new challenges in a great team."
