Ha few days ago, Dani Alves, in an interview for Alkass Sports Channels recognized that I would never have returned to Barcelona with Josep Mara Bartomeu as president. “I would not have accepted an offer from you, I left when he was the president and there was no point working with him again. “, were his words.
However, hours later, the ‘Culemana’ website brought to light a message that the Brazilian wrote to the former president via WhatsApp in May 2019, days after the debacle against Liverpool at Anfield in the semi-finals of the Champions League. “Mr. President, everything okay? I want to go back there, I want to go home and I want to play the 2022 World Cup as a Bara player! Let’s put pride aside, we need each other and we know it! “, Said the side.
In response, Bartomeu urged him to speak with Abidal to work on his incorporation, always subject to the approval of the technical body (at that time, with Ernesto Valverde at the head): “Hello Dani, to return, no problem, but the Bara technicians should agree. Have you spoken with Abidal? Strong hug. Barto “.
Both Abidal as Valverde ruled out his incorporation two seasons ago after his offer, and now, after this conversation came to light, Alves himself wanted to give his version by leaving a message. “For those who do matter with Bara, we do whatever it takes … but life knows what each one deserves. Sorry … Thanks”, He said on Twitter replying to the WhatsApp leak.
