Ex-Barcelona fullback Dani Alves released by Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo have released Dani Alves from his contract after a wage row.

The 38-year-old returned to his homeland in the summer of 2019 on a contract until December 2022 after 17 years playing in Europe, but it was claimed things came to a head earlier this week as the former Barcelona right back had not been paid in full in both the past two seasons and was still owed a whopping €3million (£2.6m), says the Daily Mail.

The Brazilian club have said that while some payments were made late, the debts have now been settled in full and they have now got Alves off their books.

Boca Juniors, River Plate, the MLS and the Middle East have all be mentioned as destinations for Alves.
