Dani Alves hints at Barcelona exit

Reported Manchester United target Dani Alves has hinted that he will leave Barcelona in the summer.

The 31-year-old right-back is out of contract in June and negotiations over an extension are thought to have reached an impasse, prompting speculation that a switch to United is on the cards.

The Brazil international is said to have agreed a three-year deal worth £100,000 per week with the Red Devils.

He took to Instagram to post a picture alongside teammates Adriano, Rafinha, Douglas and Neymar, and wrote: "Family of Brazil, my pride, to be part of this quintet does me good. If I have to go, it will be with courage, with a nice smile and with happiness in my heart."

Família Brasil meu orgulho vai além, poder formar parte desse quinteto me faz bem, porque somos fechamento e não porque convém. Se tiver que ir que seja com ousadia, um belo sorriso no rosto e no coração alegria. Eu vou que vou, vamos que vamos daquele jeito, tente ser feliz não tente ser perfeito. #vibeboa #vidalonga #sorrir #amar#viver #sódependedevocê

Alves has won four La Ligas, two Copa del Reys and two Champions League titles in a trophy-laden seven-year spell at Camp Nou.
