Alves Dani, a former Brazilian international, returned to Barcelona last month and started playing for the minimum wage.
The legendary Brazilian will earn around 150,000 euros per season in Barcelona, which is in a great financial crisis.
He used to earn millions in the same club, and now he has explained why he agreed to play for the minimum.
“The whole football world is focused on money. I’m not. And I’m not because I know what it’s like to be without money. A million, two, or three more will not change anything in my life “, said the 38-year-old Brazilian.
“In the end, what will we take to the grave with us? We don’t want yachts, private planes, and expensive cars. Only memories and successes. When I die, I would like people to say: He was a footballer who thought differently from others. “
Alves, the most trophy-winning footballer in the world, played in Barcelona from 2008 to 2016, and with the Catalan club, he won everything that can be won.
He then played for Juventus, PSG, and Sao Paulo.
We will have the opportunity to see Alves in Barca’s jersey at the beginning of next year, more precisely in January.
