In recent days there have been talks about a possible move by Dani Alves to Paris Saint-Germain. Though in vague terms, the Brazilian did mention that he was aware of the rumors, yet refused to answer whether he will join or not. When asked about PSG’s interest, Barca’s right-back said:
“PSG are a great team. I love defending great clubs. It has always been my dream. I want to play for clubs who can challenge me. I heard something about this possibility. If I don't stay at Barcelona, it's a realistic alternative for me.”

The move would make sense for all the parties involved. On one side, Dani Alves has spent six years at the Camp Nou and, after a not-so-brilliant season and virtually having won everything with his club, it seems as if it is the right time to move. Additionally, Alves would be playing in an all Brazilian back four, which would ease his transition.

As to Barcelona, at age 31, this would be the last year where the Catalans would still make a substantial amount of money by selling the Brazilian. That money would then be reinvested in the quite expensive transfer-list that Luis Enrique has in mind.

It appears that the potential move of Dani Alves to the Parc des Princes would represent, surprisingly, a win, win, win situation.
