Brazil defender Daniel Alves said he was “happy and very satisfied” at the prospect of joining FC Barcelona from Sevilla.
FC Barcelona has agreed to pay Sevilla 29.5 million euros for Alves, which would make him the world’s most expensive right back.
On top of the 29.5 million, Sevilla could see their fee increased up to six million euros in incentives depending on Barcelona’s achievements over upcoming seasons.
“I’m happy and very satisfied. I’m an ambitious player and I hope that arriving at such an important club will help me win some important things. Let’s I hope I can win some titles,” Alves has told Catalan radio station RAC-1 today.
At the same time FC Barcelona forward Giovani Dos Santos has signed for Tottenham, the club have announced in their official website. The 19-year-old Mexico international, who joined Barca in 2002, has signed a five-year contract with the London-based club in a six million euro transfer which could rise to 11 million euros depending on performances.
“FC Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur FC have come to an agreement for the transfer of Giovani Dos Santos to the English club,” read a statement on Barcelona’s official website.
