Barcelona chief urges Brazil star to REJECT summer move to Man Utd
BARCELONA president Josep Maria Bartomeu has advised Dani Alves to sign a new at the Nou Camp.
Dani Alves is out of contract in the summer
The Brazilian defender, who has been at Barca since 2008, is out of contract in the summer.
His availability on a free has attracted interest from Manchester United, with Louis van Gaal reportedly keen to replace right-back Rafael in the summer.
However, Bartomeu insists he should put pen to paper on a new deal at Barca as he still has a future at 'the best club in the world'.
If you ask for my opinion, I would say ‘sign it’
“We have presented Alves with a renewal offer of respect toward him," he said.
"He already knows it, but the decision is his.
"If you ask for my opinion, I would say ‘sign it’ because it is a good contract with Barcelona, which I consider to be the best club."
