Alves has signed a deal that will keep him at Juventus
until 2018, with an option to extend the deal by a further year.
The 33-year-old defender, who won 23 trophies over eight
seasons with Barcelona, joins Massimiliano Allegris’ side as a free-agent,
despite having one-year remaining on his contract at the Nou Camp.
The Serie A champions confirmed their new signing in a
statement released on social media on Monday afternoon.
Juventus Football Club can today confirm that Dani Alves
has agreed terms on a two-year contract with the club until 30 June 2018 with
an option for an additional year,read the statement.
The unrelenting success and remarkable consistency of the
second most decorated player in UEFA competition history has seen the Brazilian
deservedly be considered among the greatest wing-backs of his generation.
Alves originally signalled his intention to leave
Barcelona earlier this summer, after stating football had become too easy for
him in Spain and that he needed to step outside his comfort zone to improve.
The Brazil international joined the Catalan club from
Sevilla for 25.5million in 2008 and went on to make 247 La Liga appearances for
the club.
After passing his medical at the club, Alves will join up
with his new team-mates as Juventus prepare for their pre-season tour of
Australia.
