Dani Alves rejects Barcelona final contract offer, agent says

ESPN FC's Ross Dyer and Shaka Hislop discuss the best landing spot for Dani Alves after the right back rejected Barcelona's last contract offer.
FC Barcelona defender Dani Alves has rejected the club's contract offer making a few European clubs interested in the Brazilian national.

Barcelona right-back Dani Alves has rejected Barcelona's most recent and final contract offer of three years,

Santana said the Brazil international did not agree to the new deal, which placed as a condition that Alves must play 60 percent of all matches. 

"The negotiations are over," she said. "If they say this is the final offer, then they are over," Santana said. "It doesn't make sense. It's very hard that we get to April and Barcelona haven't thought about renewing Dani's contract. Dani is sad.

"Dani will see out his contract at Barcelona in the best possible manner."

Alves, who met with leadership of the club prior to the match against Almeria, was seeking a three-year deal at the same scale as his previous contract. Barcelona met the time frame but conditioned the scale upon Alves' participation in 60 percent of the club's matches each season.

Santana said Alves -- who has been -- has another offer on the table for three years with an option to renew plus a signing bonus. 

"We have spoken with other candidates and they had an opinion that differed from that of this club's leadership," Santana said.

Alves, who turns 32 before the end of the season, has been at the Camp Nou for seven years after moving from Sevilla for a fee in the region of £23 million.
