Barcelona legend Dani Alves could team up with former Real Madrid captain Marcelo in an ambitious plan from Real Valladolid president Ronaldo Nazario.
The legendary former Brazil international striker oversaw Valladolid’s promotion back to La Liga after one season in the second tier and is now hopeful of making the two marquee signings, according to Brazilian media outlet UOL Esporte. Both Alves, 39, and Marcelo, 34, are free agents after leaving rival El Clasico teams this summer with both now a ‘personal project’ of Ronaldo’s – who would not have to break the bank to accommodate their wage demands.
Barca did not extend the short-term contract of Alves even though the veteran right-back was hoping to stay at the club for at least the first half of next season to keep his World Cup dream alive, meaning that he is now a free agent and on the lookout for a new club.
