Barca’s Dani Alves set to join Juventus; Mascherano expected to follow

FC Barcelona’s long-serving full back Dani Alves looks poised to leave Camp Nou this summer after reports emerging that the Brazilian is close to joining Serie A champions Juventus on a three-year deal.

The 33-year-old joined the Catalan club from Sevilla in a £15 million move eight years ago in what was the first transfer of Pep Guardiola’s era.

Alves has one year left on his two-year deal with the Spanish champions but is expected to leave on a free transfer with Barcelona saving around £5.3 million off the player’s wages.
