Daniel Alves Confirms Barça Offer Sevilla’s sought-after right-back Daniel Alves has confirmed that he and the Andalusian club are studying an offer made by Fútbol Club Barcelona that would take the Brazilian up the coast to the flamboyant 2004-5/2005-6 Liga champions.
"I’m not closing the door in anyone’s face" said a prudent Alves when asked if the Catalan giants had really made a push to bring the slippery speed merchant to Camp Nou. The player, still stuck between Spain and the Seleção, went further on his new website
www.danielalves.net.
The player also admitted that "The President [Del Nido] has told me that Barcelona and other teams have shown interest or made offers for my services". He did, however, repeat his happiness with all things Sevillano.
“Anything that I am now or that I may be in future owes a great deal to Sevilla, a city where I’ve been made to feel at home and before making any decision we’re all going to have to sit down with the President and decide what’s best for the club".
If sealed, the deal would see Alves become the seventh Brazilian in the Blaugrana squad after Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Deco, Thiago Motta, Sylvinho, Edmilson and Belletti; although the latter’s position would be directly threatened as Alves and Belletti play in the same post of right-back.

Great to here that they have made the approach. This would be the best signing Barca can make quite frankly because Alves has shown time after time after time, that he is an excellent RB in both the offensive and defensive aspects of the position.
