Brazilian legendary left-back Dani Alves left European Football this week after his contract with French champions Paris Saint-Germain came to an end. He signed for the Brazilian Serie A team Sao Paulo on a free transfer.
The 36-year old is the only footballer in history that has won a total of 40 titles across national club competitions. He was presented to over 40,000 fans at the Morumba Stadion in Sao Paulo, including many famous Brazilian footballers such as Ricardo Kaka, who handed him the Number 10 shirt upon his signing of the three-year contract, lasting until 2022.
Upon his arrival in Sao Paulo, Alves stated that he is a lifelong Sao Paulo supporter and that one of his wishes before the end of his career is to sign for them.
Dani Alves started his career in Bahia back in 2001. From there, he went on loan to the Spanish team Seville, signing a long-term contract with the Andalusian team in 2003 after the 2003 FIFA Youth Championship.
Following his rise in Sevilla, Dani Alves was signed by Barcelona in 2008, making him one of the most expensive defenders in history. That move to Barcelona launched Alves to the top of the European football for the years to come.
