Dani Alves Confirms Juventus Exit With Farewell Message

28/6/2017

Dani Alves has confirmed his exit from the Old Ladies on Tuesday with a farewell message on his Instagram page also saying that money was not the reason for his departure ahead of a potential move to Manchester City.

Sources had it that Pep Guardiola would love to reunite with the Brazilian in Manchester City and last week Juventus chief executive Beppe Marotta confirmed that Alves will be released from his current contract with the club despite having two more years left.

Dani Alves had won a League and Cup double at Juventus and yesterday expressed his gratitude to the fans for support.

He wrote on Instagram: "I would like to thank all the Juventus fans for the year I experienced, the teammates for welcoming me like the professionals that they are, for a club that wins and reaches finals.

"I think that my respect for this club and its supporters was my dedication, my passion and all the efforts to make this club a greater club every single day.

"I apologise to the Juventus fans if sometimes they thought I had done something to offend them. This was never my intention, I just have a very spontaneous approach to life that few understand... although it appears that I am not perfect, however, my heart is pure.

"Today ends our professional relationship and I will take with me all of those who with love and true heart make Juve a great club. As everyone knows, I always say what I think and feel...

"I feel that I should say thank you to Mr Marotta for the opportunity he gave me, he's a great professional and someone who loves his job like few others...

"I don't play football for money, I play football because I love the profession and those who are part of it. I leave it up to you to judge what I have done and worked for.

"I love football and money will never keep me in any place."
