Since he left FC Barcelona in 2016, the only thing he has tried since then was to be physically as well as possible to one day fulfill his great desire: to return to the Barça club. And he achieve it. Dani Alves returned to the Camp Nou for the remainder of the season and some details of his new link with the club are being revealed, such as the time that the Brazilian initially requested or the salary he will receive.

According to information provided by the Catalan newspaper 'Sport', the defender is aware of the economic situation of the club and hence his salary is very far from what he received in his first stage of Barça, for which he agreed to have the salary fixed lowest of the template. An exceptional case for a player of his stature.

Of course, the 38-year-old footballer will have the option of a substantial change if he achieves the marked variables. In this case, they are variables, some linked to titles. On the other hand, the media reveals the contract length that Alves initially wanted, which was targeting a calendar year, with a view to the Qatar World Cup, but finally he agreed to only have his continuity assured until June. When the time comes, Barça will be able to decide whether or not to continue the Brazilian in the squad.

Dani Alves is not the only player in the current squad to come to Barcelona this season with lower salaries than those they received at their previous clubs. Footballers like Eric Garcia, Memphis or Agüero also accepted proposals for the loss of Barça.
