Veteran defender Dani Alves will continue his career in Mexico after signing a deal with Pumas.
The Liga MX side teased the Brazilian’s arrival in a video on Twitter posted Thursday, which said “Dani Alves we’re waiting for you.”
The 39-year-old left Barcelona as a free agent after last season, as his return to the Blaugrana lasted just a few months.
Now Alves will play in North America for the first time in his career as he links up with the Liga MX giants on a reported one-year contract.
Alves is aiming to make Brazil’s roster for the World Cup later this year. He appeared in a pair of friendlies in June, putting a third World Cup roster seemingly within his grasp.
The right back made his name in a trophy-filled spell with Barcelona between 2008 and 2016, before going on to play for Juventus, PSG and Sao Paulo before making a surprise return to Barcelona in November 2021.
