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.
Even though his performance was superior in the past at Barcelona, it is true that age is now a barrier and we already know that Dani Alves' performance has decreased quite a bit now.
Retirement may not be long for this player. As for Barcelona, they seem to be starting again with a younger team, apart from maturing their players, this is also good enough for long-term progress.
Dani Alves actually decided to retire last season but in the midst of the player crisis experienced by Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez again called the 38-year-old player to strengthen the Catalan team considering that Barcelona did not have a capable right-back in their squad.it was only natural that Dani Alves is experiencing a decline in form, and Barcelona must be ready with his younger generations in navigating the competition next season if Dani Alves is no longer playing for Barcelona this season, and even the latest news says that Caesar Azpilicueta has decided to extend his contract with Chelsea by one season where he previously It was rumored to join Barcelona
