Dani Alves could return to play football… in his own team. The former Barcelona player is close to completing a deal, along with a group of investors backing him, to buy a third division Portuguese team.
Specifically, negotiations are close to being finalized with Sao Joao de Ver, a team that occupies 10th position in Serie A of the Portuguese third division and in whose team the Brazilian could end his days as a player.
