Dani Alves is too old to play in Barcelona, now he is 39 years old and that is not the age he still deserves to play in Europe's best competition, at 39 years of course his physical strength is not as good as other players, I think it is very natural if Barcelona does not renew his contract again .
And with his desire to continue playing football I think choosing a club outside of Europe with less competition means Dani Alves getting more playing time, that's very good for him.
Dani Alves should have retire from his football career and pursue a coaching role, infact his contract with Mexican Club should be player/Coach, he had a successful footballing career as well as earned much money playing football at 39 years isn't going to be easy considering his body system he won't have much strength to play counter attack as well as defend effectively as a left back, though he had experience at his side, he should follow the footstep of Wilshere former Arsenal midfielder who recently retire from football and took up a coaching role with the club academy.
For me, it is actually sad to see this player leaving Barcelona again, to be honest. But one can say that Barcelona supporters are getting used to this. He has been a great player and performer for Barcelona. I think his time to retire is getting really close. It will be better for him to retire at this age and not put too much pressure on his body.
His strength obviously has declined. So it would be much better if he did not continue to play football. And we all know that a defender has to play a certain amount of physical football. It is quite possible that his body will not be able to take that much pressure. So it's better for him to pursue a career as a coach.
Well, it is notable that age is not a pleasant number for any soccer player, in the case of Dani Alves, if it were Xavi, I would leave him there still, it does not matter, I would put him to play even for 20 or 30 minutes, depending on what his body resist because the mastery and experience that this player has would take advantage of it so that the younger players see him and imitate him and learn, perhaps he is thinking that it is not very good for teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona, because both seek players of the moment and youngsters, although Barcelona's budget has been very limited, I admire that they have been able to attract good players with almost no money.
Cesar Azpilicueta has put an end to rumors that he would sign with Barcelona by renewing his contract with Chelsea through 2024.
Azpilicueta has now pledged his future to Chelsea for the next two years. This indicates that Azpilicueta would be close to turning 35 and would have served for 12 years if the contract were to last until 2024. Azpilicueta, who transferred from Marseille to Chelsea in 2012, has won nine significant prizes, including two Premier League championships and the Champions League.
So Barcelona left with Alonso to try to bring, otherwise I see Chelsea willing to spend big, up to €300m to pick new players including de Jong and Aubemayang if possible.
This duo rivalry between Chelsea and Barcelona this season is weird. I assume Tuchel is itching every time he heard the word Barca
Well, we all know that Barcelona has a pressing need for them to be able to capitalize, although I have been looking at some statistics and, well, Barcelona has been able to do it, on the other hand, Chelsea has a great need to have good players and they It is costing a lot, both to find them and to acquire them and the need for them is much greater than that of Barcelona, at least that is what I have seen.
On the other hand, I see CR7 a bit badly, he hasn't got a team, or nobody wants to accept him, a team in Arabia wants him but he doesn't want to go there, he still wants to play the UCL and I think they won't want him, I heard who goes back to Man United but on the bench.
