As a debt-ridden Barcelona struggle to make signings, Dani Alves has left the door open for a remarkable return to Camp Nou.
Dani Alves would not oppose a return to Barcelona and insists all the club chiefs need to do is give him a call.
The 38-year-old Brazilian, who spent a glorious eight seasons between 2008-2016 at Camp Nou, is a free agent after ending his contract with Sao Paulo last month amid reports over a wage dispute.
Alves is yet to find a new club but has no plans to retire as he believes he still has something to offer, especially in helping Barcelona shape their young squad.

“It would sound very opportunistic to say that Barca need me now,” the right-back told Sport. “I always said that I left because I saw things were not the way I thought they should be.
“You never want to see everything that [has] ended up happening since I left. I’ve said that when Barca need me and want me, I would be at their disposal regardless of where I am. The affection, love and respect I have for this club is too much.
“If Barca think they need me, they just have to call me. I still think I can contribute anywhere, but more at Barca because of the number of young players that they have now.”
Barcelona return to action on Sunday for a La Liga match against Valencia at Camp Nou.
