Dani Alves was a very important player for Barcelona and he played for them so many years. He is very old now of course and I think Barcelona don't need him anymore. He might even retire soon too as he is 39. But I will remember him as one of the best right-backs in the world. Barcelona are targeting to make the squad as young as possible now. This is a nice step for doing this. They are trying a different thing which is being successful with youngsters and I'd like to see them succeeding in this.
Dani Alves was a very talented and experienced player. He has played for Barcelona for a long time, strengthening the Barcelona defense. But now that he is 39, he is no longer fit for the Barcelona team. Xavi must find a replacement for Dani Alves. At the same time Gerard Pique is not performing as well as before. Xavi should recruit young defenders to strengthen the defense.
