PSG star Dani Alves opens door to Barcelona return

Dani Alves has revealed he would return to Barcelona tomorrow if the La Liga giants contacted him.

The Brazilian full-back left Barcelona for Juventus in 2016 and moved to PSG last July.

Alves won 23 titles with Camp Nou club, including three Champions League and six La Liga titles.

Since moving away from the Catalan side, the 34-year-old has tasted league success at both Juventus and PSG, but that doesn’t mean he wants to stay away from the club.

He told Mundo Deportivo: “Barca is my home. It’s impossible to say that I wouldn’t go back; I’ll go back tomorrow if they call me. If I was to say that I wasn’t hurting when I left, I’d be lying.

“It was painful when I left because I think that I contributed a lot to build a great history at Barcelona with results that maybe even the club never imagined.

“I left with 23 titles in eight years. I gave them good results and they ended up not respecting my history.

“When I left they suggested a send-off and I said no, because for me that will always be my eternal home and if you consider somewhere to be home, then you have no reason to say goodbye. How was there going to be a send-off if you’re going to go back?”
