Sao Paulo says Alves to leave club due to delayed payments

(AP) — Dani Alves will no longer
be playing for Sao Paulo due to
delayed salary payments owed to
the veteran Brazil right back, his
boyhood club said Friday.

The 38-year-old defender, who has
multiple honors from his time at Se-
villa, Barcelona, Juventus and Paris
Saint-Germain, did not show up for
training after spending the last two
weeks with Brazil’s national team for
World Cup qualifiers.

Alves, who still hopes to play at the
2022 World Cup, secured the 43rd
winners’ medal of his career after
gold with the Seleção at the Tokyo
Olympics.

Carlos Belmonte, director of football
at Sao Paulo, said in a video posted by
the club on social media that Alves
and defender Miranda were expected
to return, but that only the latter ap-
peared. Local media reports estimate
the club owes Alves about $2 million.

“We were informed by agents that
Daniel Alves will not return to Sao

Reds last season, Bauer agreed to a
$102 million, three-year contract to
join his hometown Dodgers.
