Dani Alves signs for Juventus… cue the Hector Bellerin to Barcelona rumours

Predictable...

Simon Lloyd

We knew this one was close, but now Juventus have finally confirmed the signing of Dani Alves.

The Brazilian announced towards the end of last season that he’d be leaving Barcelona and has signed a two-year deal with the Italian champions.

So, with one right back out of the door, many are expecting Barca to replace Alves with a new signing.

Although the Catalan club’s Sporting Director, Robert Fernandez, played down a move for Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin a few weeks back, it’s not stopped many from speculating that a move back to Spain is on the cards for the 21-year-old:

But don’t worry, Gooners. As we all know, when the directors of a Spanish club rule out a move for a player, they *always* stick to their word. Sort of.

Expect to see this rumour doing the rounds for as long as the summer transfer window remains open… unless is actually happens, that is.
