Dani Alves' first season is comparable to a roller coaster ride. He arrived with his general enthusiasm, but curiosity soon left room for the skepticism and some feared that a boycotted footballer came to Turin. And yet after the injury that forced him out of action for two full months, even though he has slipped into the hierarchies behind Stephan Lichtsteiner, the Brazilian still managed to win the respect of Max Allegri. An unconditional confidence and total love of the Juventus fans arrived eventually too. Whether playing deep or high as a winger, from his goal against Porto onwards, Dani Alves has become more and more a landmark on and off of the field also for Juve. And now Juve is ready to make sure that Dani Alves in Bianconero is not just a single season, but for a new long-term stage in his remarkable career.

THE RENEWAL - Arrived from Barcelona last summer thanks to the ability of Marotta and Paratici to join in the folds of a contract that brought him to Turin at virtually zero cost. Now Dani Alves’ offer from Juve has the basis of a two-year agreement with the option for a third year. But Juve has already moved to ensure that the contract can continue until June 30, 2019. The renewal was proposed to the player himself in the days after the Champions League final, confirming his current deal of more than 4 million EUR more in bonuses. Waiting for Dani Alves's response, who continues to be courted by Manchester City and China. These looming offers prompted Juve to accelerate on the renewal front, in order to be able to monetize the investment of his years in the event that after 2018 World Cup Dani Alves would decide to go to cash out that monstre check from China that already in January was proposed for over 10 million EUR a season.
